We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The options for the F16 are the connectors for the lights, the deluxe kit has plug-in connectors for the lights, the standard kit has screw terminals. There is also an option on the pixelnet output you can choose to have passive or active pixelnet. Before we start assembly of the F16 we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the F16 so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:F16-Blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> We assume you found everything in your order and are ready to start. The PC Board you received should already have the surface mount chip installed on it (blue circle). All of the components you will be installing are through-hole so no surface mount work will be required.Note that the 2 Diodes (red circles) D-17 and D-19 are no longer required The next thing we want is to make sure you are up to speed on soldering and electrostatic protection of the components in your kit. If you are not an experienced printed circuit builder I recommend you visit the site: [http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder] And check out their extremely good video on soldering correctly. Even if you are an expert it is a good video to watch. Another issue you must be aware of is that some electronic components can be damaged easily by electrostatic charges that can build up in you or your equipment. We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the Falcon 16. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money. You can purchase one for $30 to $60 dollars. Most anything that is called a soldering station where there is a temperature control separate from the iron itself will more than likely be fine but make sure it is rated for more than 15 watts. You will need solder, so get some. We recommend .032 size (0.8mm or 0.7mm) as the larger sizes tend to cause you to put too much solder on. How much?

We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The options for the F16 are the connectors for the lights, the deluxe kit has plug-in connectors for the lights, the standard kit has screw terminals. There is also an option on the pixelnet output you can choose to have passive or active pixelnet. Before we start assembly of the F16 we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the F16 so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:F16-Blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> We assume you found everything in your order and are ready to start. The PC Board you received should already have the surface mount chip installed on it (blue circle). All of the components you will be installing are through-hole so no surface mount work will be required.Note that the 2 Diodes (red circles) D-17 and D-19 are no longer required The next thing we want is to make sure you are up to speed on soldering and electrostatic protection of the components in your kit. If you are not an experienced printed circuit builder I recommend you visit the site: [http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder] And check out their extremely good video on soldering correctly. Even if you are an expert it is a good video to watch. Another issue you must be aware of is that some electronic components can be damaged easily by electrostatic charges that can build up in you or your equipment. We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the Falcon 16. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money. You can purchase one for $30 to $60 dollars. Most anything that is called a soldering station where there is a temperature control separate from the iron itself will more than likely be fine but make sure it is rated for more than 15 watts. You will need solder, so get some. We recommend .032 size (0.8mm or 0.7mm) as the larger sizes tend to cause you to put too much solder on. How much? Go ahead and get a 1 lb spool as it’s cheaper in large volume and you will go through it faster than you think. Make sure you are getting rosin core for electronics, they make some solder for plumbing that has acid as the core this is a bad mistake to make. You will need some work area to work with good lighting. Do not attempt to solder circuit boards in poorly lighted areas. If you wear reading glasses go get them you will want them we promise you. We recommend a set of helping hands like this: [http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3928375 Radio Shack] or [http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=319 HarborFreight] or [http://www.amazon.com/Michigan-Industrial-Tools-Helping-Magnifier/dp/B000NQ4Q4C Amazon.com]. == Install the 0.1 uF Ceramic Capacitors== [[Image:F16-01.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> Install seventeen (17) 0.1uf capacitors in their proper location on the board.

We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The options for the F16 are the connectors for the lights, the deluxe kit has plug-in connectors for the lights, the standard kit has screw terminals. There is also an option on the pixelnet output you can choose to have passive or active pixelnet. Before we start assembly of the F16 we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the F16 so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:F16-Blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> We assume you found everything in your order and are ready to start. The PC Board you received should already have the surface mount chip installed on it (blue circle). All of the components you will be installing are through-hole so no surface mount work will be required.Note that the 2 Diodes (red circles) D-17 and D-19 are no longer required The next thing we want is to make sure you are up to speed on soldering and electrostatic protection of the components in your kit. If you are not an experienced printed circuit builder I recommend you visit the site: [http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder] And check out their extremely good video on soldering correctly. Even if you are an expert it is a good video to watch. Another issue you must be aware of is that some electronic components can be damaged easily by electrostatic charges that can build up in you or your equipment. We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the FPD. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money. You can purchase one for $30 to $60 dollars. Most anything that is called a soldering station where there is a temperature control separate from the iron itself will more than likely be fine but make sure it is rated for more than 15 watts. You will need solder, so get some. We recommend .032 size (0.8mm or 0.7mm) as the larger sizes tend to cause you to put too much solder on. How much? Go ahead and get a 1 lb spool as it’s cheaper in large volume and you will go through it faster than you think. Make sure you are getting rosin core for electronics, they make some solder for plumbing that has acid as the core this is a bad mistake to make. You will need some work area to work with good lighting. Do not attempt to solder circuit boards in poorly lighted areas. If you wear reading glasses go get them you will want them we promise you.

We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The options for the F16 are the connectors for the lights, the deluxe kit has plug-in connectors for the lights, the standard kit has screw terminals. There is also an option on the pixelnet output you can choose to have passive or active pixelnet. Before we start assembly of the F16 we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the F16 so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:F16-Blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> We assume you found everything in your order and are ready to start. The PC Board you received should already have the surface mount chip installed on it (blue circle). All of the components you will be installing are through-hole so no surface mount work will be required.Note that the 2 Diodes (red circles) D-17 and D-19 are no longer required The next thing we want is to make sure you are up to speed on soldering and electrostatic protection of the components in your kit. If you are not an experienced printed circuit builder I recommend you visit the site: [http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder] And check out their extremely good video on soldering correctly. Even if you are an expert it is a good video to watch. Another issue you must be aware of is that some electronic components can be damaged easily by electrostatic charges that can build up in you or your equipment. We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the FPD. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money. You can purchase one for $30 to $60 dollars. Most anything that is called a soldering station where there is a temperature control separate from the iron itself will more than likely be fine but make sure it is rated for more than 15 watts. You will need solder, so get some. We recommend .032 size (0.8mm or 0.7mm) as the larger sizes tend to cause you to put too much solder on. How much? Go ahead and get a 1 lb spool as it’s cheaper in large volume and you will go through it faster than you think. Make sure you are getting rosin core for electronics, they make some solder for plumbing that has acid as the core this is a bad mistake to make. You will need some work area to work with good lighting. Do not attempt to solder circuit boards in poorly lighted areas. If you wear reading glasses go get them you will want them we promise you.

We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The options for the F16 are the connectors for the lights, the deluxe kit has plug-in connectors for the lights, the standard kit has screw terminals. There is also an option on the pixelnet output you can choose to have passive or active pixelnet. Before we start assembly of the F16 we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the F16 so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:f16-blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> We assume you found everything in your order and are ready to start. The PC Board you received should already have the surface mount chip installed on it (blue circle). All of the components you will be installing are through-hole so no surface mount work will be required.Note that the 2 Diodes (red circles) D-17 and D-19 are no longer required The next thing we want is to make sure you are up to speed on soldering and electrostatic protection of the components in your kit. If you are not an experienced printed circuit builder I recommend you visit the site: [http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder] And check out their extremely good video on soldering correctly. Even if you are an expert it is a good video to watch. Another issue you must be aware of is that some electronic components can be damaged easily by electrostatic charges that can build up in you or your equipment. We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the FPD. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money. You can purchase one for $30 to $60 dollars. Most anything that is called a soldering station where there is a temperature control separate from the iron itself will more than likely be fine but make sure it is rated for more than 15 watts. You will need solder, so get some. We recommend .032 size (0.8mm or 0.7mm) as the larger sizes tend to cause you to put too much solder on. How much? Go ahead and get a 1 lb spool as it’s cheaper in large volume and you will go through it faster than you think. Make sure you are getting rosin core for electronics, they make some solder for plumbing that has acid as the core this is a bad mistake to make. You will need some work area to work with good lighting. Do not attempt to solder circuit boards in poorly lighted areas. If you wear reading glasses go get them you will want them we promise you. We recommend a set of helping hands like this: [http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3928375 Radio Shack] or [http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=319 HarborFreight] or [http://www.amazon.com/Michigan-Industrial-Tools-Helping-Magnifier/dp/B000NQ4Q4C Amazon.com]. == Install the 0.1 uF Ceramic Capacitors== [[Image:F16-01.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> Install seventeen (17) 0.1uf capacitors in their proper location on the board.

Connect the PICKIT3 to the computer via the USB cable. Plug in the PICKIT3 to to FPD ICSP1 header, making sure triangle mark on the PICKIT3 is at the TOP of the FPD Header. Start the PICKIT3 programming application. Select "PIC32MX795F512L" from the "Device:" drop down list. Select "File" from the tool bar and select "Import". Navigate to the location of the downloaded firmware and select the Falcon FPD hex file. Click on the write button and once it completes, you may also press the "verify" button. When it has successfully programmed remove the PICKIT3 from ICSP1 and connect to ICSP2 and repeat the programming procedure on the second PIC32. Congratulations you should now have a functioning Falcon FPD!

We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The Falcon FPD is a daughter board for the Falcon Pi Player that allows you to output 32k channels. It supports both Pixelnet and DMX output via 12 universes ports (4 universes per RJ-45 Jack) in any combination. With the addition of this daughter board to the Falcon Pi Player it would be the same capability as 2 EtherDongles, 1 Conductor, and 1 Slave. Along with additional features not available elsewhere. Before we start assembly of the FPD we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the FPD so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:fpd-blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> We assume you found everything in your order and are ready to start. The PC Board you received should already have two surface mount chips installed on it. All of the components you will be installing are through-hole so no surface mount work will be required. The next thing we want is to make sure you are up to speed on soldering and electrostatic protection of the components in your kit. If you are not an experienced printed circuit builder I recommend you visit the site: [http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder] And check out their extremely good video on soldering correctly. Even if you are an expert it is a good video to watch. Another issue you must be aware of is that some electronic components can be damaged easily by electrostatic charges that can build up in you or your equipment. We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the FPD. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money. You can purchase one for $30 to $60 dollars. Most anything that is called a soldering station where there is a temperature control separate from the iron itself will more than likely be fine but make sure it is rated for more than 15 watts. You will need solder, so get some. We recommend .032 size (0.8mm or 0.7mm) as the larger sizes tend to cause you to put too much solder on. How much? Go ahead and get a 1 lb spool as it’s cheaper in large volume and you will go through it faster than you think. Make sure you are getting rosin core for electronics, they make some solder for plumbing that has acid as the core this is a bad mistake to make. You will need some work area to work with good lighting. Do not attempt to solder circuit boards in poorly lighted areas. If you wear reading glasses go get them you will want them we promise you.

Connect the PICKIT3 to the computer via the USB cable. Plug in the PICKIT3 to to FPD ICSP1 header, making sure triangle mark on the PICKIT3 is at the TOP of the FPD Header. Start the PICKIT3 programming application. Select "PIC32MX795F512L" from the "Device:" drop down list. Select "File" from the tool bar and select "Import". Navigate to the location of the downloaded firmware and select the Falcon FPD hex file. Click on the write button and once it completes, you may also press the "verify" button. When it has successfully programmed remove the PICKIT3 from ICSP1 and connect to ICSP2 and repeat the programming procedure on the second PIC32. Congratulations you should now have a functioning Falcon FPD! 9e14e4f3a3f4394cb3f6b8232ff1dafc2b4c2e3e 331 330 2013-09-09T06:27:37Z Mykroft 3 wikitext text/x-wiki == Manual: FPD (V1) == [[Image:fpd-final.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> == Introduction== You have made a wise decision to build the Falcon FPD Daughter board for the Falcon FPP system. We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The Falcon FPD is a daughter board for the Falcon Pi Player that allows you to output 32k channels. It supports both Pixelnet and DMX output via 12 universes ports (4 universes per RJ-45 Jack) in any combination. With the addition of this daughter board to the Falcon Pi Player it would be the same capability as 2 EtherDongles, 1 Conductor, and 1 Slave. Along with additional features not available elsewhere. Before we start assembly of the FPD we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the FPD so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:fpd-blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> We assume you found everything in your order and are ready to start. The PC Board you received should already have two surface mount chips installed on it. All of the components you will be installing are through-hole so no surface mount work will be required. The next thing we want is to make sure you are up to speed on soldering and electrostatic protection of the components in your kit. If you are not an experienced printed circuit builder I recommend you visit the site: [http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder] And check out their extremely good video on soldering correctly. Even if you are an expert it is a good video to watch. Another issue you must be aware of is that some electronic components can be damaged easily by electrostatic charges that can build up in you or your equipment. We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the FPD. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money. You can purchase one for $30 to $60 dollars. Most anything that is called a soldering station where there is a temperature control separate from the iron itself will more than likely be fine but make sure it is rated for more than 15 watts. You will need solder, so get some. We recommend .032 size (0.8mm or 0.7mm) as the larger sizes tend to cause you to put too much solder on. How much? Go ahead and get a 1 lb spool as it’s cheaper in large volume and you will go through it faster than you think. Make sure you are getting rosin core for electronics, they make some solder for plumbing that has acid as the core this is a bad mistake to make. You will need some work area to work with good lighting. Do not attempt to solder circuit boards in poorly lighted areas. If you wear reading glasses go get them you will want them we promise you.

We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The Falcon FPD is a daughter board for the Falcon Pi Player that allows you to output 32k channels. It supports both Pixelnet and DMX output via 12 universes ports (4 universes per RJ-45 Jack) in any combination. With the addition of this daughter board to the Falcon Pi Player it would be the same capability as 2 EtherDongles, 1 Conductor, and 1 Slave. Along with additional features not available elsewhere. Before we start assembly of the FPD we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the FPD so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:fpd-blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> We assume you found everything in your order and are ready to start. The PC Board you received should already have two surface mount chips installed on it. All of the components you will be installing are through-hole so no surface mount work will be required. The next thing we want is to make sure you are up to speed on soldering and electrostatic protection of the components in your kit. If you are not an experienced printed circuit builder I recommend you visit the site: [http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder] And check out their extremely good video on soldering correctly. Even if you are an expert it is a good video to watch. Another issue you must be aware of is that some electronic components can be damaged easily by electrostatic charges that can build up in you or your equipment. We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the FPD. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money. You can purchase one for $30 to $60 dollars. Most anything that is called a soldering station where there is a temperature control separate from the iron itself will more than likely be fine but make sure it is rated for more than 15 watts. You will need solder, so get some. We recommend .032 size (0.8mm or 0.7mm) as the larger sizes tend to cause you to put too much solder on. How much? Go ahead and get a 1 lb spool as it’s cheaper in large volume and you will go through it faster than you think. Make sure you are getting rosin core for electronics, they make some solder for plumbing that has acid as the core this is a bad mistake to make. You will need some work area to work with good lighting. Do not attempt to solder circuit boards in poorly lighted areas. If you wear reading glasses go get them you will want them we promise you.

You will need solder, so get some. We recommend .032 size (0.8mm or 0.7mm) as the larger sizes tend to cause you to put too much solder on. How much? Go ahead and get a 1 lb spool as it’s cheaper in large volume and you will go through it faster than you think. Make sure you are getting rosin core for electronics, they make some solder for plumbing that has acid as the core this is a bad mistake to make. You will need some work area to work with good lighting. Do not attempt to solder circuit boards in poorly lighted areas. If you wear reading glasses go get them you will want them we promise you.

We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The Falcon FPD is a daughter board for the Falcon Pi Player that allows you to output 32k channels. It supports both Pixelnet and DMX output via 12 universes ports (4 universes per RJ-45 Jack) in any combination. With the addition of this daughter board to the Falcon Pi Player it would be the same capability as 2 EtherDongles, 1 Conductor, and 1 Slave. Along with additional features not available elsewhere. Before we start assembly of the FPD we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the FPD so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:fpd-blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> We assume you found everything in your order and are ready to start. The PC Board you received should already have two surface mount chips installed on it. All of the components you will be installing are through-hole so no surface mount work will be required. The next thing we want is to make sure you are up to speed on soldering and electrostatic protection of the components in your kit. If you are not an experienced printed circuit builder I recommend you visit the site: [http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder] And check out their extremely good video on soldering correctly. Even if you are an expert it is a good video to watch. Another issue you must be aware of is that some electronic components can be damaged easily by electrostatic charges that can build up in you or your equipment. We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the FPD. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money.

We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The Falcon FPD is a daughter board for the Falcon Pi Player that allows you to output 32k channels. It supports both Pixelnet and DMX output via 12 universes ports (4 universes per RJ-45 Jack) in any combination. With the addition of this daughter board to the Falcon Pi Player it would be the same capability as 2 EtherDongles, 1 Conductor, and 1 Slave. Along with additional features not available elsewhere. Before we start assembly of the FPD we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the FPD so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:fpd-blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> We assume you found everything in your order and are ready to start. The PC Board you received should already have two surface mount chips installed on it. All of the components you will be installing are through-hole so no surface mount work will be required. The next thing we want is to make sure you are up to speed on soldering and electrostatic protection of the components in your kit. If you are not an experienced printed circuit builder I recommend you visit the site: [http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder] And check out their extremely good video on soldering correctly. Even if you are an expert it is a good video to watch. Another issue you must be aware of is that some electronic components can be damaged easily by electrostatic charges that can build up in you or your equipment. We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the FPD. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money. You can purchase one for $30 to $60 dollars. Most anything that is called a soldering station where there is a temperature control separate from the iron itself will more than likely be fine but make sure it is rated for more than 15 watts.

We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The Falcon FPD is a daughter board for the Falcon Pi Player that allows you to output 32k channels. It supports both Pixelnet and DMX output via 12 universes ports (4 universes per RJ-45 Jack) in any combination. With the addition of this daughter board to the Falcon Pi Player it would be the same capability as 2 EtherDongles, 1 Conductor, and 1 Slave. Along with additional features not available elsewhere. Before we start assembly of the FPD we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the FPD so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:fpd-blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> We assume you found everything in your order and are ready to start. The PC Board you received should already have two surface mount chips installed on it. All of the components you will be installing are through-hole so no surface mount work will be required. The next thing we want is to make sure you are up to speed on soldering and electrostatic protection of the components in your kit. If you are not an experienced printed circuit builder I recommend you visit the site: [http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder] And check out their extremely good video on soldering correctly. Even if you are an expert it is a good video to watch. Another issue you must be aware of is that some electronic components can be damaged easily by electrostatic charges that can build up in you or your equipment. We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the FPD. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money. You can purchase one for $30 to $60 dollars. Most anything that is called a soldering station where there is a temperature control separate from the iron itself will more than likely be fine but make sure it is rated for more than 15 watts. You will need solder, so get some. We recommend .032 size (0.8mm or 0.7mm) as the larger sizes tend to cause you to put too much solder on. How much? Go ahead and get a 1 lb spool as it’s cheaper in large volume and you will go through it faster than you think. Make sure you are getting rosin core for electronics, they make some solder for plumbing that has acid as the core this is a bad mistake to make. You will need some work area to work with good lighting. Do not attempt to solder circuit boards in poorly lighted areas. If you wear reading glasses go get them you will want them we promise you.

Lead trimming is not required on these sockets. 7ad71807b1da319fd5d5f251cfa9a0cb4338d5c1 299 297 2013-09-09T04:31:41Z Mykroft 3 wikitext text/x-wiki == Manual FPD == [[Image:fpd-final.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> == Introduction== You have made a wise decision to build the Falcon FPD Daughter board for the Falcon FPP system. We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The Falcon FPD is a daughter board for the Falcon Pi Player that allows you to output 32k channels. It supports both Pixelnet and DMX output via 12 universes ports (4 universes per RJ-45 Jack) in any combination. With the addition of this daughter board to the Falcon Pi Player it would be the same capability as 2 EtherDongles, 1 Conductor, and 1 Slave. Along with additional features not available elsewhere. Before we start assembly of the FPD we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the FPD so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:fpd-blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> We assume you found everything in your order and are ready to start. The PC Board you received should already have two surface mount chips installed on it. All of the components you will be installing are through-hole so no surface mount work will be required. The next thing we want is to make sure you are up to speed on soldering and electrostatic protection of the components in your kit. If you are not an experienced printed circuit builder I recommend you visit the site: [http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder] And check out their extremely good video on soldering correctly. Even if you are an expert it is a good video to watch. Another issue you must be aware of is that some electronic components can be damaged easily by electrostatic charges that can build up in you or your equipment. We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the FPD. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money. You can purchase one for $30 to $60 dollars. Most anything that is called a soldering station where there is a temperature control separate from the iron itself will more than likely be fine but make sure it is rated for more than 15 watts. You will need solder, so get some. We recommend .032 size (0.8mm or 0.7mm) as the larger sizes tend to cause you to put too much solder on. How much? Go ahead and get a 1 lb spool as it’s cheaper in large volume and you will go through it faster than you think. Make sure you are getting rosin core for electronics, they make some solder for plumbing that has acid as the core this is a bad mistake to make. You will need some work area to work with good lighting. Do not attempt to solder circuit boards in poorly lighted areas. If you wear reading glasses go get them you will want them we promise you.

We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The Falcon FPD is a daughter board for the Falcon Pi Player that allows you to output 32k channels. It supports both Pixelnet and DMX output via 12 universes ports (4 universes per RJ-45 Jack) in any combination. With the addition of this daughter board to the Falcon Pi Player it would be the same capability as 2 EtherDongles, 1 Conductor, and 1 Slave. Along with additional features not available elsewhere. Before we start assembly of the FPD we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the FPD so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:fpd-blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> We assume you found everything in your order and are ready to start. The PC Board you received should already have two surface mount chips installed on it. All of the components you will be installing are through-hole so no surface mount work will be required. The next thing we want is to make sure you are up to speed on soldering and electrostatic protection of the components in your kit. If you are not an experienced printed circuit builder I recommend you visit the site: [http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder http://curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder] And check out their extremely good video on soldering correctly. Even if you are an expert it is a good video to watch. Another issue you must be aware of is that some electronic components can be damaged easily by electrostatic charges that can build up in you or your equipment. We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the FPD. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money. You can purchase one for $30 to $60 dollars. Most anything that is called a soldering station where there is a temperature control separate from the iron itself will more than likely be fine but make sure it is rated for more than 15 watts. You will need solder, so get some. We recommend .032 size (0.8mm or 0.7mm) as the larger sizes tend to cause you to put too much solder on. How much? Go ahead and get a 1 lb spool as it’s cheaper in large volume and you will go through it faster than you think. Make sure you are getting rosin core for electronics, they make some solder for plumbing that has acid as the core this is a bad mistake to make. You will need some work area to work with good lighting. Do not attempt to solder circuit boards in poorly lighted areas. If you wear reading glasses go get them you will want them we promise you.

We have all been shocked by walking on carpet and grabbing a door knob before. This is electrostatic charge in action. It takes much less than this to hurt some of our parts. If you are unfamiliar with procedures to protect from this please use the internet to research it before opening your parts up. You can damage your parts with improper handling! You will need a few tools that do not come with your kit to build the FPD. You will need a good soldering iron. We can not stress enough that a good soldering iron makes a big difference in these projects. The little 15w cheap irons are more apt to hurt your parts by taking too long to get the parts up to soldering temperature than a good iron which can bring it up to temp very fast. Remember it is more how long you keep the part hot than it is how hot you get it within reasonable soldering temperatures. A good soldering iron can be had for very reasonable amounts of money. You can purchase one for $30 to $60 dollars. Most anything that is called a soldering station where there is a temperature control separate from the iron itself will more than likely be fine but make sure it is rated for more than 15 watts. You will need solder, so get some. We recommend .032 size (0.8mm or 0.7mm) as the larger sizes tend to cause you to put too much solder on. How much? Go ahead and get a 1 lb spool as it’s cheaper in large volume and you will go through it faster than you think. Make sure you are getting rosin core for electronics, they make some solder for plumbing that has acid as the core this is a bad mistake to make. You will need some work area to work with good lighting. Do not attempt to solder circuit boards in poorly lighted areas. If you wear reading glasses go get them you will want them we promise you. We recommend a set of helping hands like this: [http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3928375] Radio Shack or [http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=319] HarborFreight or [http://www.amazon.com/Michigan-Industrial-Tools-Helping-Magnifier/dp/B000NQ4Q4C] Amazon.com dc1e184b239388e236b54544be697fcf4b4c801a 280 278 2013-09-09T02:40:25Z Mykroft 3 wikitext text/x-wiki == Manual FPD == [[Image:fpd-final.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> == Introduction== You have made a wise decision to build the Falcon FPD Daughter board for the Falcon FPP system. We believe you will be very pleased with what this hardware can do for you. The Falcon FPD is a daughter board for the Falcon Pi Player that allows you to output 32k channels. It supports both Pixelnet and DMX output via 12 universes ports (4 universes per RJ-45 Jack) in any combination. With the addition of this daughter board to the Falcon Pi Player it would be the same capability as 2 EtherDongles, 1 Conductor, and 1 Slave. Along with additional features not available elsewhere. Before we start assembly of the FPD we want to do two things. First we need to take inventory and make sure we have all the components that should have come with your order(s). Please use static precautions in the handling of sensitive parts. If you are not familiar in them please research on the Internet prior to handling them. You can damage your parts with improper handling! Take your time building the FPD so it will give you many seasons of trouble free operation. Take care inspecting the solder joints and making sure ALL parts and chips are in the proper orientation as per the silk screen on the PCB. ==Preparing To Build == [[Image:fpd-blank.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> 885c4934f7ea6c59079baf291b012465063bc423 278 277 2013-09-09T02:09:28Z Mykroft 3 wikitext text/x-wiki == Manual FPD == [[Image:fpd-final.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> == Introduction== You have made a wise decision to build the Falcon FPD Daughter board for the Falcon FPP system.

'''Waterproof SSC design using 3-core and 4-core connectors:''' Based on negative experiences with water and the SSC / RJ-45 pigtail design, an alteration has been suggested to use 4-core waterproof connectors in place of the RJ-45 pigtail. The incoming cat5 cable must be altered to use a female 4-core pigtail in place of the normal cat5 plug. When modifying the cat5 cable, use the original twisted pair for the length of the cable, up to the pigtail... the twisted pair will allow the pin 1 and pin 2 pair to carry the signal for longer distances. The SSC uses a male 4-core connector to receive the pixelnet with power from the smart string hub. The SSC then uses a female 3-core connector to send the smart string data and power to the string.

A 3-channel controller will pass a common 12V+ line to a string of LEDs, and ALSO pass ground line to a series of Red LEDs, a separate ground line to series of Green LEDs, and a final ground line to a series of Blue LEDs. Using the current 4-core pigtail's wire colors as a starting point for a proposed wiring scheme, the scheme uses black for 12V+, red(brown?) wire for Red lights, green wire for Green lights, and blue wire for Blue lights. [[File:Dumb-rgb.jpg|border|4-core used with Dumb RGB strings ]] The controller should use female connectors to prevent the exposed pins from accidental shorting. The dumb string of lights should use a male connector to receive the power from the controller.

Pins 1 and 2 carry pixelnet data (Pixelnet+ and Pixelnet- respectively. Pins 3-5 carry 12V+ and Pins 6-8 carry GROUND. By replacing a Cat5 plug on one end of a cat5 cable with a 4-core connector, the end of the cable -- normally exposed to cold and wet climates can be protected from the elements using the waterproof connector. The SSC must be altered to use a 4-core male connector, while the cat5 'adapter' uses a female connector -- to avoid potential shorting from exposed pins. The picture below shows the 4 lines passed into the SSC through the 4-core connector: [[File:Powered-pixelnet.JPG|border|4-core connector used for pixelnet with power]] '''Waterproof SSC design using 3-core and 4-core connectors:''' Based on negative experiences with water and the SSC / RJ-45 pigtail design, an alteration has been suggested to use 4-core waterproof connectors in place of the RJ-45 pigtail.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution you download and install on hardware which can be purchased online from numerous sources. FPP aims to be controller agnostic. It can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard, to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controllers from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs, or in the store at [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give users a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application 'Falcon Pi Player' to calling it 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is, and always will be, free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items for Raspberry Pis: *Raspberry Pi - with v2.0, any model up to and including the Pi 3B+ should work *SD memory card for FPP OS image *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A micro USB) Required items for BeagleBones: *BeagleBone - virtually any BeagleBone Black compatible board should work. However, we don't recommend the BBGW (the wireless card conflicts with a bunch of GPIO's) or the BeagleBone Blue (the form factor is "different" so capes and such won't work) *SD memory card for FPP OS image Optional Items: *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. By default, FPP v2.0 stores everything on the SD card, but if you need more space, you can use a USB drive instead *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including package deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing... the audio file I have on my PI is different... Does that matter? Or does FPP not care if the filenames don't match? == The filenames don't have to match. You can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: [http://fpp.local/ http://fpp.local/]) as the URL. Once your're in FPP, click on the status/control drop down menu then select Network. At the top, in the Interface drop down, select wlan0 and enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. Your Pi should then connect to your wifi network. There is usually no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How can I set FPP to a static IP address using the console? == # Hook up a USB keyboard to the Pi USB port, and plug in an HDMI monitor to the Pi HDMI port # Power up the Pi. You should see a LOT of text scroll by on your monitor, ending with a login prompt. # Log into FPP with user name: fpp and password: falcon # Enter 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces' # Search for a line containing "iface eth0 inet dhcp" and replace that line similar to this (substitute the desired IP and network info, keep the netmask and DNS settings the same): :: iface eth0 inet static :: address 192.168.25.25 :: gateway 192.168.25.1 :: netmask 255.255.255.0 :: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 :: Make sure you have no other sections in the file starting with 'iface eth0' -- if so, delete those sections # Save the file (CTRL+O, CTRL+X) and follow prompts to save). # Remove the interface files in /home/fpp/media/config/ :: sudo rm /home/fpp/media/config/interface.* # Copy your working /etc/network/interfaces file to /etc/network/interfaces.default. :: sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.default :: FPP will not create a new file but will copy interfaces.default to interfaces instead. # Enter "sudo reboot" and it should start with the new IP address when it comes back up == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. [http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then set up in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. When you are done there, they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following *Shut off your pi using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI *Don't disconnect power until the red LED is the only LED on, which is how you know it is done shutting down *Physically install the rasclock *Boot FPP *Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI *In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" *Disable NTP *Select your timezone *Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order to set the RTC, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". The RTC will keep time until the battery dies (years from now). <br> When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set the OS "software" clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration, rasclock is required only on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before storing your Raspberry Pi for long periods, remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't, you'll likely have to replace the battery for next year's show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == *when your channel count gets too high *when your physical layout is spread out *when physical obstacles make it difficult to run one or more wires *to control diverse elements like a video projector *to keep your audio equipment in a separate location from your show elements (e.g. indoors) == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: fpp <return> 6. At the password prompt type: falcon <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == How to use Big Buttons plugin == The basics are: 1) Configure scripts to do what you want buttons to do (you can use samples from the script repository to start playlists, etc.) 2) Install plugin 3) Configure buttons in plugin config page to run scripts from step #2. 4) Go to main plugin page and click buttons. You're probably more interested in what you can do with scripts. The answer to that is "practically anything". There are a lot of sample scripts already in the repository and some more examples in threads. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution you download and install on hardware which can be purchased online from numerous sources. FPP aims to be controller agnostic. It can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard, to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controllers from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs, or in the store at [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give users a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application 'Falcon Pi Player' to calling it 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is, and always will be, free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items for Raspberry Pis: *Raspberry Pi - with v2.0, any model up to and including the Pi 3B+ should work *SD memory card for FPP OS image *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A micro USB) Required items for BeagleBones: *BeagleBone - virtually any BeagleBone Black compatible board should work. However, we don't recommend the BBGW (the wireless card conflicts with a bunch of GPIO's) or the BeagleBone Blue (the form factor is "different" so capes and such won't work) *SD memory card for FPP OS image Optional Items: *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. By default, FPP v2.0 stores everything on the SD card, but if you need more space, you can use a USB drive instead *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including package deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing... the audio file I have on my PI is different... Does that matter? Or does FPP not care if the filenames don't match? == The filenames don't have to match. You can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: [http://fpp.local/ http://fpp.local/]) as the URL. Once your're in FPP, click on the status/control drop down menu then select Network. At the top, in the Interface drop down, select wlan0 and enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. Your Pi should then connect to your wifi network. There is usually no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How can I set FPP to a static IP address using the console? == # Hook up a USB keyboard to the Pi USB port, and plug in an HDMI monitor to the Pi HDMI port # Power up the Pi. You should see a LOT of text scroll by on your monitor, ending with a login prompt. # Log into FPP with user name: fpp and password: falcon # Enter 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces' # Search for a line containing "iface eth0 inet dhcp" and replace that line similar to this (substitute the desired IP and network info, keep the netmask and DNS settings the same): :: iface eth0 inet static :: address 192.168.25.25 :: gateway 192.168.25.1 :: netmask 255.255.255.0 :: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 :: Make sure you have no other sections in the file starting with 'iface eth0' -- if so, delete those sections # Save the file (CTRL+O, CTRL+X) and follow prompts to save). # Remove the interface files in /home/fpp/media/config/ :: sudo rm /home/fpp/media/config/interface.* # Copy your working /etc/network/interfaces file to /etc/network/interfaces.default. :: sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.default :: FPP will not create a new file but will copy interfaces.default to interfaces instead. # Enter "sudo reboot" and it should start with the new IP address when it comes back up == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. [http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out.

However, we don't recommend the BBGW (the wireless card conflicts with a bunch of GPIO's) or the BeagleBone Blue (the form factor is "different" so capes and such won't work) *SD memory card for FPP OS image Optional Items: *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. By default, FPP v2.0 stores everything on the SD card, but if you need more space, you can use a USB drive instead *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including package deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing... the audio file I have on my PI is different... Does that matter? Or does FPP not care if the filenames don't match? == The filenames don't have to match. You can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: [http://fpp.local/ http://fpp.local/]) as the URL. Once your're in FPP, click on the status/control drop down menu then select Network. At the top, in the Interface drop down, select wlan0 and enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. Your Pi should then connect to your wifi network. There is usually no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How can I set FPP to a static IP address using the console? == # Hook up a USB keyboard to the Pi USB port, and plug in an HDMI monitor to the Pi HDMI port # Power up the Pi. You should see a LOT of console "spew" on the monitor, ending with a login prompt. # Log into FPP with user name: fpp and password: falcon # Enter 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces' # Search for a line containing "iface eth0 inet dhcp" and replace that line with something like this (substitute in your desired IP and network info, keep the netmask and dns settings the same): :: iface eth0 inet static :: address 192.168.25.25 :: gateway 192.168.25.1 :: netmask 255.255.255.0 :: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 :: Make sure you have no other sections in the file starting with 'iface eth0' -- if so, delete those sections # Save the file (CTRL+O, CTRL+X) and follow prompts to save). # Remove the interface files in /home/fpp/media/config/ :: sudo rm /home/fpp/media/config/interface.* # Copy your working /etc/network/interfaces file to /etc/network/interfaces.default. :: sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.default :: FPP will not create a new file but will copy interfaces.default to interfaces instead. # Enter "sudo shutdown -r now" and it should start with the new IP when it comes back up == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. [http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following *Shut off your pi using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI *Don't disconnect power until the red LED is the only LED on, which is how you know it is done shutting down *Physically install the rasclock *Boot FPP *Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI *In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" *Disable NTP *Select your timezone *Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order to set the RTC, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". The RTC will keep time until the battery dies (years from now). <br> When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set the OS "software" clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration, rasclock is required only on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before storing your Raspberry Pi for long periods, remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't, you'll likely have to replace the battery for next year's show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == *when your channel count gets too high *when your physical layout is spread out *when physical obstacles make it difficult to run one or more wires *to control diverse elements like a video projector *to keep your audio equipment in a separate location from your show elements (e.g. indoors) == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: fpp <return> 6. At the password prompt type: falcon <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == How to use Big Buttons plugin == The basics are: 1) Configure scripts to do what you want buttons to do (you can use samples from the script repository to start playlists, etc.) 2) Install plugin 3) Configure buttons in plugin config page to run scripts from step #2. 4) Go to main plugin page and click buttons. You're probably more interested in what you can do with scripts. The answer to that is "practically anything". There are a lot of sample scripts already in the repository and some more examples in threads. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

Does that matter? Or does FPP not care if the filenames don't match? */ wikitext text/x-wiki = Falcon Player (FPP) Frequently Asked Questions = == What is FPP? == The Falcon Player (FPP) is a lightweight, optimized, feature-rich sequence player designed to run on low-cost SBCs (Single Board Computers). It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution you download and install on hardware which can be purchased online from numerous sources. FPP aims to be controller agnostic. It can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard, to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controllers from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs, or in the store at [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give users a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application 'Falcon Pi Player' to calling it 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is, and always will be, free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items for Raspberry Pis: *Raspberry Pi - with v2.0, any model up to and including the Pi 3B+ should work *SD memory card for FPP OS image *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this.

If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following *Shut off your pi using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI *Don't disconnect power until the red LED is the only LED on, which is how you know it is done shutting down *Physically install the rasclock *Boot FPP *Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI *In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" *Disable NTP *Select your timezone *Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order to set the RTC, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". The RTC will keep time until the battery dies (years from now). <br> When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set the OS "software" clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration, rasclock is required only on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before storing your Raspberry Pi for long periods, remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't, you'll likely have to replace the battery for next year's show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == *when your channel count gets too high *when your physical layout is spread out *when physical obstacles make it difficult to run one or more wires *to control diverse elements like a video projector *to keep your audio equipment in a separate location from your show elements (e.g. indoors) == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: fpp <return> 6. At the password prompt type: falcon <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == How to use Big Buttons plugin == The basics are: 1) Configure scripts to do what you want buttons to do (you can use samples from the script repository to start playlists, etc.) 2) Install plugin 3) Configure buttons in plugin config page to run scripts from step #2. 4) Go to main plugin page and click buttons. You're probably more interested in what you can do with scripts. The answer to that is "practically anything". There are a lot of sample scripts already in the repository and some more examples in threads. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? */ wikitext text/x-wiki = Falcon Player (FPP) Frequently Asked Questions = == What is FPP? == The Falcon Player (FPP) is a lightweight, optimized, feature-rich sequence player designed to run on low-cost SBCs (Single Board Computers). It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution you download and install on hardware which can be purchased online from numerous sources. FPP aims to be controller agnostic. It can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard, to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controllers from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs, or in the store at [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give users a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application 'Falcon Pi Player' to calling it 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is, and always will be, free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items for Raspberry Pis: *Raspberry Pi - with v2.0, any model up to and including the Pi 3B+ should work *SD memory card for FPP OS image *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A micro USB) Required items for BeagleBones: *BeagleBone - virtually any BeagleBone Black compatible board should work. However, we don't recommend the BBGW (the wireless card conflicts with a bunch of GPIO's) or the BeagleBone Blue (the form factor is "different" so capes and such won't work) *SD memory card for FPP OS image Optional Items: *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. By default, FPP v2.0 stores everything on the SD card, but if you need more space, you can use a USB drive instead *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including package deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing... the audio file I have on my PI is different... Does that matter? Or does FPP not care if the filenames don't match? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: [http://fpp.local/ http://fpp.local/]) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How can I set FPP to a static IP address using the console? == # Hook up a USB keyboard to the Pi USB port, and plug in an HDMI monitor to the Pi HDMI port # Power up the Pi. You should see a LOT of console "spew" on the monitor, ending with a login prompt. # Log into FPP with user name: fpp and password: falcon # Enter 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces' # Search for a line containing "iface eth0 inet dhcp" and replace that line with something like this (substitute in your desired IP and network info, keep the netmask and dns settings the same): :: iface eth0 inet static :: address 192.168.25.25 :: gateway 192.168.25.1 :: netmask 255.255.255.0 :: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 :: Make sure you have no other sections in the file starting with 'iface eth0' -- if so, delete those sections # Save the file (CTRL+O, CTRL+X) and follow prompts to save). # Remove the interface files in /home/fpp/media/config/ :: sudo rm /home/fpp/media/config/interface.* # Copy your working /etc/network/interfaces file to /etc/network/interfaces.default. :: sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.default :: FPP will not create a new file but will copy interfaces.default to interfaces instead. # Enter "sudo shutdown -r now" and it should start with the new IP when it comes back up == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. [http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire.

It can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard, to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controllers from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs, or in the store at [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give users a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application 'Falcon Pi Player' to calling it 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is, and always will be, free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items for Raspberry Pis: *Raspberry Pi - with v2.0, any model up to and including the Pi 3B+ should work *SD memory card for FPP OS image *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A micro USB) Required items for BeagleBones: *BeagleBone - virtually any BeagleBone Black compatible board should work. However, we don't recommend the BBGW (the wireless card conflicts with a bunch of GPIO's) or the BeagleBone Blue (the form factor is "different" so capes and such won't work) *SD memory card for FPP OS image Optional Items: *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. By default, FPP v2.0 stores everything on the SD card, but if you need more space, you can use a USB drive instead *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including package deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: [http://fpp.local/ http://fpp.local/]) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How can I set FPP to a static IP address using the console? == # Hook up a USB keyboard to the Pi USB port, and plug in an HDMI monitor to the Pi HDMI port # Power up the Pi. You should see a LOT of console "spew" on the monitor, ending with a login prompt. # Log into FPP with user name: fpp and password: falcon # Enter 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces' # Search for a line containing "iface eth0 inet dhcp" and replace that line with something like this (substitute in your desired IP and network info, keep the netmask and dns settings the same): :: iface eth0 inet static :: address 192.168.25.25 :: gateway 192.168.25.1 :: netmask 255.255.255.0 :: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 :: Make sure you have no other sections in the file starting with 'iface eth0' -- if so, delete those sections # Save the file (CTRL+O, CTRL+X) and follow prompts to save). # Remove the interface files in /home/fpp/media/config/ :: sudo rm /home/fpp/media/config/interface.* # Copy your working /etc/network/interfaces file to /etc/network/interfaces.default. :: sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.default :: FPP will not create a new file but will copy interfaces.default to interfaces instead. # Enter "sudo shutdown -r now" and it should start with the new IP when it comes back up == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. [http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following *Shut off your pi using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI *Don't disconnect power until the red LED is the only LED on, which is how you know it is done shutting down *Physically install the rasclock *Boot FPP *Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI *In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" *Disable NTP *Select your timezone *Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order to set the RTC, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". The RTC will keep time until the battery dies (years from now). <br> When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set the OS "software" clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration, rasclock is required only on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before storing your Raspberry Pi for long periods, remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't, you'll likely have to replace the battery for next year's show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == *when your channel count gets too high *when your physical layout is spread out *when physical obstacles make it difficult to run one or more wires *to control diverse elements like a video projector *to keep your audio equipment in a separate location from your show elements (e.g. indoors) == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: fpp <return> 6. At the password prompt type: falcon <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == How to use Big Buttons plugin == The basics are: 1) Configure scripts to do what you want buttons to do (you can use samples from the script repository to start playlists, etc.) 2) Install plugin 3) Configure buttons in plugin config page to run scripts from step #2. 4) Go to main plugin page and click buttons. You're probably more interested in what you can do with scripts. The answer to that is "practically anything". There are a lot of sample scripts already in the repository and some more examples in threads. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following *Shut off your pi using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI *Don't disconnect power until the red LED is the only LED on, which is how you know it is done shutting down *Physically install the rasclock *Boot FPP *Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI *In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" *Disable NTP *Select your timezone *Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order to set the RTC, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". The RTC will keep time until the battery dies (years from now). <br> When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set the OS "software" clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration, rasclock is required only on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before storing your Raspberry Pi for long periods, remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't, you'll likely have to replace the battery for next year's show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == *when your channel count gets too high *when your physical layout is spread out *when physical obstacles make it difficult to run one or more wires *to control diverse elements like a video projector *to keep your audio equipment in a separate location from your show elements (e.g. indoors) == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: fpp <return> 6. At the password prompt type: falcon <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == How to use Big Buttons plugin == The basics are: 1) Configure scripts to do what you want buttons to do (you can use samples from the script repository to start playlists, etc.) 2) Install plugin 3) Configure buttons in plugin config page to run scripts from step #2. 4) Go to main plugin page and click buttons. You're probably more interested in what you can do with scripts. The answer to that is "practically anything". There are a lot of sample scripts already in the repository and some more examples in threads. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution you download and install on hardware which can be purchased online from numerous sources. FPP aims to be controller agnostic. It can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard, to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controllers from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs, or in the store at [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give users a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application 'Falcon Pi Player' to calling it 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items for Raspberry Pis: *Raspberry Pi - with v2.0, any model up to and including the Pi 3B+ should work *SD memory card for FPP OS image *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A micro USB) Required items for BeagleBones: *BeagleBone - virtually any BeagleBone Black compatible board should work. However, we don't recommend the BBGW (the wireless card conflicts with a bunch of GPIO's) or the BeagleBone Blue (the form factor is "different" so capes and such won't work) *SD memory card for FPP OS image Optional Items: *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. By default, FPP v2.0 stores everything on the SD card, but if you need more space, you can use a USB drive instead *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: [http://fpp.local/ http://fpp.local/]) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How can I set FPP to a static IP address using the console? == # Hook up a USB keyboard to the Pi USB port, and plug in an HDMI monitor to the Pi HDMI port # Power up the Pi. You should see a LOT of console "spew" on the monitor, ending with a login prompt. # Log into FPP with user name: fpp and password: falcon # Enter 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces' # Search for a line containing "iface eth0 inet dhcp" and replace that line with something like this (substitute in your desired IP and network info, keep the netmask and dns settings the same): :: iface eth0 inet static :: address 192.168.25.25 :: gateway 192.168.25.1 :: netmask 255.255.255.0 :: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 :: Make sure you have no other sections in the file starting with 'iface eth0' -- if so, delete those sections # Save the file (CTRL+O, CTRL+X) and follow prompts to save). # Remove the interface files in /home/fpp/media/config/ :: sudo rm /home/fpp/media/config/interface.* # Copy your working /etc/network/interfaces file to /etc/network/interfaces.default. :: sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.default :: FPP will not create a new file but will copy interfaces.default to interfaces instead. # Enter "sudo shutdown -r now" and it should start with the new IP when it comes back up == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. [http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees.

You're probably more interested in what you can do with scripts. The answer to that is "practically anything". There are a lot of sample scripts already in the repository and some more examples in threads. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution you download and install on hardware which can be purchased online from numerous sources. FPP aims to be controller agnostic. It can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard, to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controllers from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs, or in the store at [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items for Raspberry Pis: *Raspberry Pi - with v2.0, any model up to and including the Pi 3B+ should work *SD memory card for FPP OS image *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A micro USB) Required items for BeagleBones: *BeagleBone - virtually any BeagleBone Black compatible board should work. However, we don't recommend the BBGW (the wireless card conflicts with a bunch of GPIO's) or the BeagleBone Blue (the form factor is "different" so capes and such won't work) *SD memory card for FPP OS image Optional Items: *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. By default, FPP v2.0 stores everything on the SD card, but if you need more space, you can use a USB drive instead *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: [http://fpp.local/ http://fpp.local/]) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How can I set FPP to a static IP address using the console? == # Hook up a USB keyboard to the Pi USB port, and plug in an HDMI monitor to the Pi HDMI port # Power up the Pi. You should see a LOT of console "spew" on the monitor, ending with a login prompt. # Log into FPP with user name: fpp and password: falcon # Enter 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces' # Search for a line containing "iface eth0 inet dhcp" and replace that line with something like this (substitute in your desired IP and network info, keep the netmask and dns settings the same): :: iface eth0 inet static :: address 192.168.25.25 :: gateway 192.168.25.1 :: netmask 255.255.255.0 :: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 :: Make sure you have no other sections in the file starting with 'iface eth0' -- if so, delete those sections # Save the file (CTRL+O, CTRL+X) and follow prompts to save). # Remove the interface files in /home/fpp/media/config/ :: sudo rm /home/fpp/media/config/interface.* # Copy your working /etc/network/interfaces file to /etc/network/interfaces.default. :: sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.default :: FPP will not create a new file but will copy interfaces.default to interfaces instead. # Enter "sudo shutdown -r now" and it should start with the new IP when it comes back up == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. [http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following *Shut off your pi using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI *Don't disconnect power until the red LED is the only LED on, which is how you know it is done shutting down *Physically install the rasclock *Boot FPP *Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI *In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" *Disable NTP *Select your timezone *Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order to set the RTC, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". The RTC will keep time until the battery dies (years from now). <br> When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set the OS "software" clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration, rasclock is required only on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before storing your Raspberry Pi for long periods, remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't, you'll likely have to replace the battery for next year's show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == *when your channel count gets too high *when your physical layout is spread out *when physical obstacles make it difficult to run one or more wires *to control diverse elements like a video projector *to keep your audio equipment in a separate location from your show elements (e.g. indoors) == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: fpp <return> 6. At the password prompt type: falcon <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == How to use Big Buttons plugin == The basics are: 1) Configure scripts to do what you want buttons to do (you can use samples from the script repository to start playlists, etc.) 2) Install plugin 3) Configure buttons in plugin config page to run scripts from step #2. 4) Go to main plugin page and click buttons. You're probably more interested in what you can do with scripts. The answer to that is "practically anything". There are a lot of sample scripts already in the repository and some more examples in threads. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following *Shut off your pi using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI *Don't disconnect power until the red LED is the only LED on, which is how you know it is done shutting down *Physically install the rasclock *Boot FPP *Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI *In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" *Disable NTP *Select your timezone *Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order to set the RTC, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". The RTC will keep time until the battery dies (years from now). <br> When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set the OS "software" clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration, rasclock is required only on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before storing your Raspberry Pi for long periods, remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't, you'll likely have to replace the battery for next year's show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == *when your channel count gets too high *when your physical layout is spread out *when physical obstacles make it difficult to run one or more wires *to control diverse elements like a video projector *to keep your audio equipment in a separate location from your show elements (e.g. indoors) == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: fpp <return> 6. At the password prompt type: falcon <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == How to use Big Buttons plugin == The basics are: 1) Configure scripts to do what you want buttons to do (you can use samples from the script repository to start playlists, etc.) 2) Install plugin 3) Configure buttons in plugin config page to run scripts from step #2. 4) Go to main plugin page and click buttons. You're probably more interested in what you can do with scripts. The answer to that is "practically anything". There are a lot of sample scripts already in the repository and some more examples in threads. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items for Raspberry Pis: *Raspberry Pi - with v2.0, any model up to and including the Pi 3B+ should work *SD memory card for FPP OS image *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A micro USB) Required items for BeagleBones: *BeagleBone - virtually any BeagleBone Black compatible board should work. However, we don't recommend the BBGW (the wireless card conflicts with a bunch of GPIO's) or the BeagleBone Blue (the form factor is "different" so capes and such won't work) *SD memory card for FPP OS image Optional Items: *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. By default, FPP v2.0 stores everything on the SD card, but if you need more space, you can use a USB drive instead *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: [http://fpp.local/ http://fpp.local/]) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How can I set FPP to a static IP address using the console? == # Hook up a USB keyboard to the Pi USB port, and plug in an HDMI monitor to the Pi HDMI port # Power up the Pi. You should see a LOT of console "spew" on the monitor, ending with a login prompt. # Log into FPP with user name: fpp and password: falcon # Enter 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces' # Search for a line containing "iface eth0 inet dhcp" and replace that line with something like this (substitute in your desired IP and network info, keep the netmask and dns settings the same): :: iface eth0 inet static :: address 192.168.25.25 :: gateway 192.168.25.1 :: netmask 255.255.255.0 :: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 :: Make sure you have no other sections in the file starting with 'iface eth0' -- if so, delete those sections # Save the file (CTRL+O, CTRL+X) and follow prompts to save). # Remove the interface files in /home/fpp/media/config/ :: sudo rm /home/fpp/media/config/interface.* # Copy your working /etc/network/interfaces file to /etc/network/interfaces.default. :: sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.default :: FPP will not create a new file but will copy interfaces.default to interfaces instead. # Enter "sudo shutdown -r now" and it should start with the new IP when it comes back up == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. [http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations.

The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == How to use Big Buttons plugin == The basics are: 1) Configure scripts to do what you want buttons to do (you can use samples from the script repository to start playlists, etc.) 2) Install plugin 3) Configure buttons in plugin config page to run scripts from step #2. 4) Go to main plugin page and click buttons. You're probably more interested in what you can do with scripts. The answer to that is "practically anything". There are a lot of sample scripts already in the repository and some more examples in threads. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items for Raspberry Pis: *Raspberry Pi - with v2.0, any model up to and including the Pi 3B+ should work *SD memory card for FPP OS image *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A micro USB) Required items for BeagleBones: *BeagleBone - virtually any BeagleBone Black compatible board should work. However, we don't recommend the BBGW (the wireless card conflicts with a bunch of GPIO's) or the BeagleBone Blue (the form factor is "different" so capes and such won't work) *SD memory card for FPP OS image Optional Items: *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. By default, FPP v2.0 stores everything on the SD card, but if you need more space, you can use a USB drive instead *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: [http://fpp.local/ http://fpp.local/]) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How can I set FPP to a static IP address using the console? == # Hook up a USB keyboard to the Pi USB port, and plug in an HDMI monitor to the Pi HDMI port # Power up the Pi. You should see a LOT of console "spew" on the monitor, ending with a login prompt. # Log into FPP with user name: fpp and password: falcon # Enter 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces' # Search for a line containing "iface eth0 inet dhcp" and replace that line with something like this (substitute in your desired IP and network info, keep the netmask and dns settings the same): :: iface eth0 inet static :: address 192.168.25.25 :: gateway 192.168.25.1 :: netmask 255.255.255.0 :: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 :: Make sure you have no other sections in the file starting with 'iface eth0' -- if so, delete those sections # Save the file (CTRL+O, CTRL+X) and follow prompts to save). # Remove the interface files in /home/fpp/media/config/ :: sudo rm /home/fpp/media/config/interface.* # Copy your working /etc/network/interfaces file to /etc/network/interfaces.default. :: sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.default :: FPP will not create a new file but will copy interfaces.default to interfaces instead. # Enter "sudo shutdown -r now" and it should start with the new IP when it comes back up == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. [http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following *Shut off your pi using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI *Don't disconnect power until the red LED is the only LED on, which is how you know it is done shutting down *Physically install the rasclock *Boot FPP *Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI *In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" *Disable NTP *Select your timezone *Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order to set the RTC, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". The RTC will keep time until the battery dies (years from now). When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set the OS "software" clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration, rasclock is required only on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before storing your Raspberry Pi for long periods, remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't, you'll likely have to replace the battery for next year's show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == *when your channel count gets too high *when your physical layout is too spread apart *when physical obstacles make it difficult to run a lot of wires or even one wire *to control diverse elements like a video projector *to keep my audio equipment (like in the house) in a separate location from my show elements in the yard == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: fpp <return> 6. At the password prompt type: falcon <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8.

You should see a LOT of console "spew" on the monitor, ending with a login prompt. # Log into FPP with user name: fpp and password: falcon # Enter 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces' # Search for a line containing "iface eth0 inet dhcp" and replace that line with something like this (substitute in your desired IP and network info, keep the netmask and dns settings the same): :: iface eth0 inet static :: address 192.168.25.25 :: gateway 192.168.25.1 :: netmask 255.255.255.0 :: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 :: Make sure you have no other sections in the file starting with 'iface eth0' -- if so, delete those sections # Save the file (CTRL+O, CTRL+X) and follow prompts to save). # Remove the interface files in /home/fpp/media/config/ :: sudo rm /home/fpp/media/config/interface.* # Copy your working /etc/network/interfaces file to /etc/network/interfaces.default. :: sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.default :: FPP will not create a new file but will copy interfaces.default to interfaces instead. # Enter "sudo shutdown -r now" and it should start with the new IP when it comes back up == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. [http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following *Shut off your pi using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI *Don't disconnect power until the red LED is the only LED on, which is how you know it is done shutting down *Physically install the rasclock *Boot FPP *Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI *In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" *Disable NTP *Select your timezone *Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order to set the RTC, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". The RTC will keep time until the battery dies (years from now). When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set the OS "software" clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration, rasclock is required only on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before storing your Raspberry Pi for long periods, remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't, you'll likely have to replace the battery for next year's show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == *when your channel count gets too high *when your physical layout is too spread apart *when physical obstacles make it difficult to run a lot of wires or even one wire *to control diverse elements like a video projector *to keep my audio equipment (like in the house) in a separate location from my show elements in the yard == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: fpp <return> 6. At the password prompt type: falcon <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == How to use Big Buttons plugin == The basics are: 1) Configure scripts to do what you want buttons to do (you can use samples from the script repository to start playlists, etc.) 2) Install plugin 3) Configure buttons in plugin config page to run scripts from step #2. 4) Go to main plugin page and click buttons. You're probably more interested in what you can do with scripts. The answer to that is "practically anything". There are a lot of sample scripts already in the repository and some more examples in threads. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items for Raspberry Pis: *Raspberry Pi - with v2.0, any model up to and including the Pi 3B+ should work *SD memory card for FPP OS image *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A micro USB) Required items for BeagleBones: *BeagleBone - virtually any BeagleBone Black compatible board should work. However, we don't recommend the BBGW (the wireless card conflicts with a bunch of GPIO's) or the BeagleBone Blue (the form factor is "different" so capes and such won't work) *SD memory card for FPP OS image Optional Items: *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. By default, FPP v2.0 stores everything on the SD card, but if you need more space, you can use a USB drive instead *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: [http://fpp.local/ http://fpp.local/]) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How can I set FPP to a static IP address using the console? == # Hook up a USB keyboard to the Pi USB port, and plug in an HDMI monitor to the Pi HDMI port # Power up the Pi. You should see a LOT of console "spew" on the monitor, ending with a login prompt. # Log into FPP with user name: fpp and password: falcon # Enter 'sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces' # Search for a line containing "iface eth0 inet dhcp" and replace that line with something like this (substitute in your desired IP and network info, keep the netmask and dns settings the same): :: iface eth0 inet static :: address 192.168.25.25 :: gateway 192.168.25.1 :: netmask 255.255.255.0 :: dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 :: Make sure you have no other sections in the file starting with 'iface eth0' -- if so, delete those sections # Save the file (CTRL+O, CTRL+X) and follow prompts to save). # Remove the interface files in /home/fpp/media/config/ :: sudo rm /home/fpp/media/config/interface.* # Copy your working /etc/network/interfaces file to /etc/network/interfaces.default. :: sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.default :: FPP will not create a new file but will copy interfaces.default to interfaces instead. # Enter "sudo shutdown -r now" and it should start with the new IP when it comes back up == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use.

Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following *Shut your pi off using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI *Pull power once only the red LED is on, which is how you know it is done shutting down *Physically install the rasclock *Boot FPP *Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI *In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" *Disable NTP *Select your timezone *Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order for the RTC to have the time programmed into it, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". This will program that time into the RTC, which keeps time until your battery dies (years from now). When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set it's internal clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration you only require the rasclock on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before putting the raspberry pi away for a long period of time please make sure to remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't do this you will likely have to replace the battery for next years show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == *when your channel count gets too high *when your physical layout is too spread apart *when physical obstacles make it difficult to run a lot of wires or even one wire *to control diverse elements like a video projector *to keep my audio equipment (like in the house) in a separate location from my show elements in the yard == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: fpp <return> 6. At the password prompt type: falcon <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == How to use Big Buttons plugin == The basics are: 1) Configure scripts to do what you want buttons to do (you can use samples from the script repository to start playlists, etc.) 2) Install plugin 3) Configure buttons in plugin config page to run scripts from step #2. 4) Go to main plugin page and click buttons. You're probably more interested in what you can do with scripts. The answer to that is "practically anything". There are a lot of sample scripts already in the repository and some more examples in threads. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items for Raspberry Pis: *Raspberry Pi - with v2.0, any model up to and including the Pi 3B+ should work *SD memory card for FPP OS image *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A micro USB) Required items for BeagleBones: *BeagleBone - virtually any BeagleBone Black compatible board should work. However, we don't recommend the BBGW (the wireless card conflicts with a bunch of GPIO's) or the BeagleBone Blue (the form factor is "different" so capes and such won't work) *SD memory card for FPP OS image Optional Items: *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. By default, FPP v2.0 stores everything on the SD card, but if you need more space, you can use a USB drive instead *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: [http://fpp.local/ http://fpp.local/]) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. [http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following *Shut your pi off using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI *Pull power once only the red LED is on, which is how you know it is done shutting down *Physically install the rasclock *Boot FPP *Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI *In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" *Disable NTP *Select your timezone *Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted).

[http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following *Shut your pi off using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI *Pull power once only the red LED is on, which is how you know it is done shutting down *Physically install the rasclock *Boot FPP *Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI *In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" *Disable NTP *Select your timezone *Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order for the RTC to have the time programmed into it, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". This will program that time into the RTC, which keeps time until your battery dies (years from now). When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set it's internal clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration you only require the rasclock on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before putting the raspberry pi away for a long period of time please make sure to remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't do this you will likely have to replace the battery for next years show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == *when your channel count gets too high *when your physical layout is too spread apart *when physical obstacles make it difficult to run a lot of wires or even one wire *to control diverse elements like a video projector *to keep my audio equipment (like in the house) in a separate location from my show elements in the yard == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: fpp <return> 6. At the password prompt type: falcon <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == How to use Big Buttons plugin == The basics are: 1) Configure scripts to do what you want buttons to do (you can use samples from the script repository to start playlists, etc.) 2) Install plugin 3) Configure buttons in plugin config page to run scripts from step #2. 4) Go to main plugin page and click buttons. You're probably more interested in what you can do with scripts. The answer to that is "practically anything". There are a lot of sample scripts already in the repository and some more examples in threads. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items: *Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: [http://fpp.local/ http://fpp.local/]) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. [http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'.

I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: fpp <return> 6. At the password prompt type: falcon <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings.

Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items: *Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: [http://fpp.local/ http://fpp.local/]) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. [http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters] == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at [http://127.0.0.1:8888/ http://127.0.0.1:8888/] to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: *Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. *Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. *Run any tests requested *Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. *Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP&nbsp;? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP&nbsp;? == The default username is "fpp" and the password is "falcon" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l fpp ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following *Shut your pi off using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI *Pull power once only the red LED is on, which is how you know it is done shutting down *Physically install the rasclock *Boot FPP *Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI *In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" *Disable NTP *Select your timezone *Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order for the RTC to have the time programmed into it, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". This will program that time into the RTC, which keeps time until your battery dies (years from now). When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set it's internal clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration you only require the rasclock on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before putting the raspberry pi away for a long period of time please make sure to remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't do this you will likely have to replace the battery for next years show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == *when your channel count gets too high *when your physical layout is too spread apart *when physical obstacles make it difficult to run a lot of wires or even one wire *to control diverse elements like a video projector *to keep my audio equipment (like in the house) in a separate location from my show elements in the yard == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: pi <return> 6. At the password prompt type: raspberry <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items: *Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from.

Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP ? == The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following * Shut your pi off using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI * Pull power once only the red LED is on, which is how you know it is done shutting down * Physically install the rasclock * Boot FPP * Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI * In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" * Disable NTP * Select your timezone * Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order for the RTC to have the time programmed into it, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". This will program that time into the RTC, which keeps time until your battery dies (years from now). When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set it's internal clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration you only require the rasclock on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before putting the raspberry pi away for a long period of time please make sure to remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't do this you will likely have to replace the battery for next years show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == *when your channel count gets too high *when your physical layout is too spread apart *when physical obstacles make it difficult to run a lot of wires or even one wire *to control diverse elements like a video projector *to keep my audio equipment (like in the house) in a separate location from my show elements in the yard == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: pi <return> 6. At the password prompt type: raspberry <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a cursor sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: &nbsp;:wq! Notice the moment you type&nbsp;: that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The&nbsp;: tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP,&nbsp;! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type &lt;esc&gt;&nbsp;:q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. &nbsp;:q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items: *Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: * Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. * Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. * Run any tests requested * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. * Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP ? == The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy.

Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: * Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. * Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. * Run any tests requested * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. * Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP ? == The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following * Shut your pi off using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI * Pull power once only the red LED is on, which is how you know it is done shutting down * Physically install the rasclock * Boot FPP * Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI * In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" * Disable NTP * Select your timezone * Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order for the RTC to have the time programmed into it, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". This will program that time into the RTC, which keeps time until your battery dies (years from now). When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set it's internal clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration you only require the rasclock on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before putting the raspberry pi away for a long period of time please make sure to remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't do this you will likely have to replace the battery for next years show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == * when your channel count gets to high * when your physical layout is to spread apart * when physical obstacles make it difficult to run a lot of wires or even one wire * to control diverse elements like a video projector * to keep my audio equipment (like in the house) in a separate location from my show elements in the yard == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. == All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: pi <return> 6. At the password prompt type: raspberry <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a curser sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: :wq! Notice the moment you type : that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The : tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP, ! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type <esc> :q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. :q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == How do I switch modes? == You should see a set of 4 example scripts under the 'Control' section now. Control/SwitchToBridgeMode.sh Control/SwitchToMasterMode.sh Control/SwitchToPlayerMode.sh Control/SwitchToRemoteMode.sh These switch FPP to the indicated mode and restart the fppd daemon for the change to take effect. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items: *Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want.

Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys.

Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: * Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. * Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. * Run any tests requested * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. * Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP ? == The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0.

Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: :wq! Notice the moment you type : that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The : tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP, ! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type <esc> :q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. :q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road. [[Category:Falcon Products]] [[Category:Falcon Player]] [[Category:FAQ]] 6560abea9b3bd116a1f588a007793c224244aec2 618 615 2015-02-08T18:09:00Z Jnealand 20 /* Falcon Player (FPP) Frequently Asked Questions */ wikitext text/x-wiki = Falcon Player (FPP) Frequently Asked Questions = == What is FPP? == The Falcon Player (FPP) is a lightweight, optimized, feature-rich sequence player designed to run on low-cost SBC's (Single Board Computers). It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items: *Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: * Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. * Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. * Run any tests requested * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. * Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP ? == The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following * Shut your pi off using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI * Pull power once only the red LED is on, which is how you know it is done shutting down * Physically install the rasclock * Boot FPP * Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI * In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" * Disable NTP * Select your timezone * Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order for the RTC to have the time programmed into it, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". This will program that time into the RTC, which keeps time until your battery dies (years from now). When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set it's internal clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration you only require the rasclock on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before putting the raspberry pi away for a long period of time please make sure to remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't do this you will likely have to replace the battery for next years show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == * when your channel count gets to high * when your physical layout is to spread apart * when physical obstacles make it difficult to run a lot of wires or even one wire * to control diverse elements like a video projector * to keep my audio equipment (like in the house) in a separate location from my show elements in the yard == How to reset your volume control by Alan Dahl. All: Use these steps at your own risk please. I am not sure why the setting was corrupted but we can overwrite the volume setting in the settings file. 1. Browse to the FPP web page. 2. Choose the help tab, SSH Shell Menu 3. Your browser may complain about security, Allow or continue as needed. 4. A new window will open up with a login prompt. FPP login: (or similar if you have change the FPP's hostname) 5. At the login prompt type: pi <return> 6. At the password prompt type: raspberry <return> 7. upon successful login the MOTD will scroll and you will have a curser sitting at a prompt similar to pi@FPP - $ 8. At this prompt type: ls <return> You should see: media an then a new prompt. The ls command is list of the current directory. 9.Now type: cd media <return> This is a change directory command to enter into the media folder or directory. 10. Once in the Media directory type: ls <return> You will see quite a few more files and folders. The only file we are interested in is the file called: settings We want to edit the file called settings. My editor of choice is the vi editor. 11. at the prompt type: vi settings <return> This command will open the settings file in the editor. Use the j key to move down, k key to move up, l key to move right, and the h key to move left. Again this is the lower case J, K, L, and H keys for movement. You may also use the arrow keys if your keyboard has them. 12. Using the above keys and only the above keys move the cursor over the entry to the right of the "volume =" line in the settings file. I believe last night yours was set to "nan" In this particular case you want the cursor sitting on the first n in nan. 13. Once your cursor is in the proper place. type: cw This command means change word and it does two things. It change the editor to edit mode and prepares the entire word or string "nan" for replacement. nan will now look like this na$ 14. type: 75 <esc> This command replaces the first two characters of nan with 75 and the esc key truncates the rest of the word and exits the edit mode of the editor. 15: now type: :wq! Notice the moment you type : that the colon appears at the bottom of the screen. This is the command line of the editor. The : tells the editor we wish to enter a command on the command line. The command we are issuing is: w write my changes out to the file, q quit the editor and return me to the command prompt of the FPP, ! force this action (probably not necessary here but old habits die hard) 16. Go back to the FPP web page, refresh, and check that you can now adjust the FPP volume. If while in the editor you get confused and start to mess up the file: Stop - type <esc> :q! Escape key to get me out of whatever mode I have gotten into. :q! command line mode, quit, force. Notice we did not write our output to the file so no changes have been saved. The force is needed here because if changes have been made the system is going to want to warn you that your changes will be lost. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet.

Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following * Shut your pi off using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI * Pull power once only the red LED is on, which is how you know it is done shutting down * Physically install the rasclock * Boot FPP * Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI * In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" * Disable NTP * Select your timezone * Check the Manually Set Date/Time boxes and click Submit This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order for the RTC to have the time programmed into it, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". This will program that time into the RTC, which keeps time until your battery dies (years from now). When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set it's internal clock. If you are running a master and slave Pi configuration you only require the rasclock on the master Pi. IMPORTANT: Before putting the raspberry pi away for a long period of time please make sure to remove the battery from the rasclock. If you don't do this you will likely have to replace the battery for next years show! == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == * when your channel count gets to high * when your physical layout is to spread apart * when physical obstacles make it difficult to run a lot of wires or even one wire * to control diverse elements like a video projector * to keep my audio equipment (like in the house) in a separate location from my show elements in the yard == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items: *Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: * Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. * Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. * Run any tests requested * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. * Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP ? == The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes.

When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following * Shut your pi off using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI * Pull power once only the red LED is on, which is how you know it is done shutting down * Physically install the rasclock * Boot FPP * Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI * In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order for the RTC to have the time programmed into it, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". This will program that time into the RTC, which keeps time until your battery dies (years from now). When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set it's internal clock. == Why/When would I need to use multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == * when your channel count gets to high * when your physical layout is to spread apart * when physical obstacles make it difficult to run a lot of wires or even one wire * to control diverse elements like a video projector * to keep my audio equipment (like in the house) in a separate location from my show elements in the yard == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items: *Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: * Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. * Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. * Run any tests requested * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. * Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP ? == The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence.

The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following * Shut your pi off using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI * Pull power once only the red LED is on, which is how you know it is done shutting down * Physically install the rasclock * Boot FPP * Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI * In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order for the RTC to have the time programmed into it, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". This will program that time into the RTC, which keeps time until your battery dies (years from now). When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set it's internal clock. == Why/When would I need to use the multiple Pi players and the multisync feature? == * when your channel count gets to high * when your physical layout is to spread apart * when physical obstacles make it difficult to run a lot of wires or even one wire * to control diverse elements like a video projector == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road. [[Category:Falcon Products]] [[Category:Falcon Player]] [[Category:FAQ]] d94ab29ee972c725423ebe2a62b830ddfdf76520 600 599 2014-12-23T20:20:08Z Jnealand 20 /* Falcon Player (FPP) Frequently Asked Questions */ wikitext text/x-wiki = Falcon Player (FPP) Frequently Asked Questions = == What is FPP? == The Falcon Player (FPP) is a lightweight, optimized, feature-rich sequence player designed to run on low-cost SBC's (Single Board Computers). It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items: *Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in 'Bridge Mode'. == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: * Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. * Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. * Run any tests requested * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. * Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP ? == The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string.

There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00.

When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == How do I install my RASClock? == Skip the instructions for the RASClock, FPP install has taken care of all the grunt work, but do the following * Shut your pi off using the shut-down option in the FPP web-page UI * Pull power once only the red LED is on, which is how you know it is done shutting down * Physically install the rasclock * Boot FPP * Navigate to the "Config/Set Time" page under "Status/Control" in the UI * In the "Real Time Clock" drop-down select "RasClock" This configures your RTC for use (basically does some of the stuff in the links others have posted). In order for the RTC to have the time programmed into it, you need to fill out the "Manually Set Date/Time" boxes and click "Submit". This will program that time into the RTC, which keeps time until your battery dies (years from now). When the Pi boots, it will read the time from the RTC and set it's internal clock. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. == What hardware do I need? == Required Items: *Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc 2A microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter == Where can I get the hardware? == Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in "Bridge Mode". == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: * Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. * Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. * Run any tests requested * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. * Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP ? == The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? == These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? == Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. ===What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? == There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? == You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Can you run the FPP detached from a network? == You can run the Pi detached from a network. The best way is to give it a static IP on your home network and fill in the gateway and DNS servers. This will prevent a DHCP timeout on eth0 from taking it down preventing E1.31 from going out. If you want to run a playlist as soon as the Pi powers on, then setup a schedule that starts at 00:00 and runs to 24:00. Internally, FPP will subtract one second from the end time, so it will be 23:59:59. Check the 'repeat' checkbox to allow the playlist to repeat. Once you have done that, whenever the Pi boots, FPP will see that it should be playing a playlist and that the playlist should repeat until midnight and it will start the playlist. When midnight rolls around, the playlist will end, but start right back up again. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet.

Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. === What hardware do I need? === Required Items: * Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter === Where can I get the hardware? === Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] === Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? === No === How do I check for the latest player code? === If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. === The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? === The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. === How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? === Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. === My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. === On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. === How does one use the FPP in "Bridge Mode". === Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). === What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? === Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters === When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? === Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. === When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? === You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. === How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working === From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. === I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? === If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to get to the FPP web interface. === What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? === The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings === What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? === To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. === What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? === Log Collection Procedure: * Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. * Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. * Run any tests requested * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. * Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. === I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? === Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. === How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? === The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) === How do I ssh into my FPP ? === The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. === What ntp server is my pi looking at? === From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. === What are major and minor in the event setup window? === These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. === How do I set up multiple pis to sync? === Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. === What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? === There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. === How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? === You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. === Where are the rest of the questions and answers? === They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'.

Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings === What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? === To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. === What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? === Log Collection Procedure: * Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. * Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. * Run any tests requested * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. * Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. === How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? === The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) === How do I ssh into my FPP ? === The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". Or from the web interface look under help and you will see an entry for SSH shell. Click that and you can login and do your thing. === What ntp server is my pi looking at? === From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. === What are major and minor in the event setup window? === These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. === How do I set up multiple pis to sync? === Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. === What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? === There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. === How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? === You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. === Where are the rest of the questions and answers? === They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. === What hardware do I need? === Required Items: * Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter === Where can I get the hardware? === Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in "Bridge Mode". == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask.

The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer.

The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. === What hardware do I need? === Required Items: * Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter === Where can I get the hardware? === Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in "Bridge Mode". == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: * Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. * Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. * Run any tests requested * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. * Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP ? == The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == What are the drop down options in setting up the pixel matrix overlay? There are 4 options in the dropdown: - Disabled - the overlay for this model is disabled, the matrix/tree shows what is in the running sequence - Enabled - the overlay is enabled and shows what the plugin tells it to show. this will give you the clean blank text, no sequence data will show through until you switch either back to Disabled or one of the Transparent options. - Transparent - the overlay is enabled and when a channel is overlayed as non-zero, it overrides the sequence data - Transparent RGB - the overlay is enabled and when any channel in a RGB triplet of channels is non-zero the whole RGB triplet will come from the overlay instead of the sequence. When using the Pixel Overlay for RGB pixels, you want to use Enabled or Transparent RGB. If you use Transparent, you will get very odd colors on your display since it only copies single channels from the overlay data insteaed of all 3. If the overlay color for a pixel is red and the sequence is blue, then you will get purple since the blue is not zeroed out. If you use Transparent RGB, the blue from the sequence data would get zeroed out as the whole RGB triplet of channels is copied from the overlay data. When you change the setting back to 'Disabled' then the sequence data is allowed to show through again. == How do you setup the Pixel Overlay Matrix? You need to tell FPP about your display item by creating a Pixel Overlay Model (under the 'Input/Output Setup' main menu item). The model defines the start channel, the total channels, the orientation (which way the strings run), the number of nodes per string, and the number of strands per string (if a string folds over once and runs across your matrix twice, then it has 2 strands per string. Once you create a model, you can use the Matrix Tools Plugin to test the model, but to get fancy and do things like SMS, you will need to dive into Perl a little and use one of the sample Pixel Overlay scripts provided in the FPP Script Repository. There are examples for scrolling text including a Christmas countdown and a few others. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet.

There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in "Bridge Mode". == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: * Go to the "FPP Settings" page and configure the requested Log Level and Log Mask. * Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. * Run any tests requested * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask. * Download Logs ZIP using the 'ZIP' button on the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach the log zip package to a forum post or email it to the developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP ? == The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == What are major and minor in the event setup window? These are control channels, major/minor should normally be set to 0. The control channels define a set of channels which can be used to fire events using your sequence data. If you set the channels to 1 and 2 then in your sequencer you put a 10 in channel one and a 40 in channel two that will cause event ID 1/4 to fire. The values you set in your sequencer are 10x the desired event ID. This is done because some sequencers store values 0-100 internally when displaying 0-255 so we can't do a one for one mapping because the data might get munges in the background. == How do I set up multiple pis to sync? Using FPP's MultiSync capability is easy. Just setup multiple Pi's as normal, change one to 'master' on the status page. Change the rest to 'remote'. On the master go to the MultiSync config page and select the Remotes you want to sync to and restart the master fppd. Now just upload sequences and videos to the master and remotes. Whenever you play a sequence or video on the master, that same Filename will be played on the remotes if the file exists there. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. === What hardware do I need? === Required Items: * Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter === Where can I get the hardware? === Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want.

Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in "Bridge Mode". == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: * Configure requested Log Level and Log Mask via the FPP Settings page. * Restart FPPD using the restart button at the bottom of the page. * Run any tests requested * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask unless requested to do differently. * Download Logs ZIP from the Logs tab in the FPP File Manager UI and attach to forum post or email to developer. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == How do I ssh into my FPP ? == The default username is "pi" and the password is "raspberry" From the command line type " ssh YOUR.FPP.IP.ADDY -l pi ". == What ntp server is my pi looking at? == From an SSH session, type: ntpq -p This shows you the servers your Pi sees. An asterisk indicates the server your Pi is synced to. The + entries are ones it could sync with if the one with an asterisk fails. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet. Click 'edit' at the top of the page and you can help us document to help the next user down the road.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. === What hardware do I need? === Required Items: * Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter === Where can I get the hardware? === Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page.

Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == I need to remotely administer my FPP; can I have it on the public Internet? == If you absolutely need to put a FPP instance on the internet, here are the minimum recommended changes: *Change the pi user's password *Disable FTP *Disable Samba *Add iptables rules to only allow connections from a limited set of IPs (your house and a backup IP somewhere else) *Change Apache to only listen on localhost *Setup a SSH key for the pi user and change OpenSSH to not allow password authentication and require SSH keys. With these changes, you can administer the system by ssh-ing to the Pi and tunnelling port 80. When you open a ssh connection with Putty, you can specify to tunnel any local port (8080, 8888, etc.) to remote IP 127.0.0.1 port 80 and then you point your web browser at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ to get to the FPP web interface. == What do the Log Level and Log Mask settings control? == The Falcon Player has an extensive amount of logging to aid in troubleshooting issues with FPP itself and users' configurations. Turning all of this logging on at the same time would cause performance issues so the developers have created a log system that is controlled by two settings: Log Level and Log Mask. Details of the various levels and mask values are accessible in FPP by pressing F1 or clicking the 'Press F1 for Help' link under the right side of the menu. The help pages are context sensitive, so you must be on the FPP Settings page to view help information on the Log Level and Log Mask settings == What is the Logs ZIP and how do I get it? == To aid in troubleshooting issues, you may be asked to get a copy of the Logs ZIP and attach it to a forum post or email it to a developer. The Logs ZIP contains a copy of all of the FPP log files and a few system log files that are useful in debugging system startup or network connectivity issues. Certain config files are also rolled into the Logs ZIP to allow developers to copy them onto a development system to try to reproduce an issue related to the configuration. To generate the Logs ZIP, you will need to go to the Logs tab on the File Manager page in the FPP UI. At the bottom of the page is a button labeled "ZIP". When you click the button, FPP will create a ZIP file of the logs and config and your browser should popup a window asking you to download the ZIP file. Attach the ZIP to a forum post or email it to the developer as requested. If you are asked to run a specific test before generating the Logs ZIP, you may need to turn on a specific Log Level and Log Mask as requested. This can be done via the FPP Settings page. == What is the procedure for running a test and collecting logs? == Log Collection Procedure: * Configure requested Log Level and Log Mask via the FPP Settings page. * Run any tests requested * Download Logs ZIP from the FPP File Manager Logs tab * Revert Log Level and Log Mask back to the 'Info' Level and 'Most' mask unless requested to do differently. == I uploaded a Perl script, how do I trigger an event? == Scripts have to be uploaded and then setup in the "events" pulldown under the Status/Control section. Then when you are done there they show up when you create your playlist. == How can we copy files (playlist) to another FPP ? == The media drive is network mounted with samba. Connect with Samba and copy file. (other option is scp) == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet.

It was originally created to run on the $35 [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi], hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on [http://FalconChristmas.com FalconChristmas.com]. == Who dropped the Pi and why? == The Falcon Player was originally created to run on the [http://raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi] but it became clear early on during the Falcon Player's lifetime that there was a desire to support running FPP on hardware other than the Pi to give user's a choice of hardware and to ensure the project could go on if a single hardware vendor were to disappear or break compatibility. The decision was made to change from calling the application the 'Falcon Pi Player' to now calling it the 'Falcon Player'. == Why isn't the acronym just 'FP' for 'Falcon Player' after you dropped the 'Pi'? == Because it was too many links to go back and change from 'FPP' to 'FP'. We are a victim of our own success. We could revisit this decision and call it 'FP' at a later time, but for some, 'FPP' just rolls off the tongue better than 'FP'. == How much does the Falcon Player cost? == The software is free and always will be free. You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. === What hardware do I need? === Required Items: * Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter === Where can I get the hardware? === Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in "Bridge Mode". == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place.

You just need to purchase the hardware. We do not sell the Raspberry Pi or other hardware necessary to run the Falcon Player itself. Falcon Christmas does offer COOPs of our controller hardware which FPP can talk to, but you do not need to use Falcon controllers with the FPP and vice versa you do not need to use FPP with Falcon controller hardware. === What hardware do I need? === Required Items: * Raspberry Pi Model B or B+ *SD memory card for FPP OS image *USB flash drive for sequences, audio and video media files, event scripts, logs, etc. *Power Supply for the Pi (Don't skimp on this. It needs a 5vdc microUSB) Optional Items: *Wireless USB dongle *RasClock Real Time Clock Module *USB Hub *USB HDD *USB serial dongles *FPD - Falcon Pixelnet/DMX (/Renard) adapter === Where can I get the hardware? === Here is an incomplete list of vendors you can purchase a Raspberry Pi from. SD cards, USB flash drives, and USB power supplies can be purchased from several of them as well, including packages deals which include nearly everything you need to get up and running except for a USB flash drive. This is not an exhaustive list and the fact that a vendor is listed here does not express any endorsement by Falcon Christmas. *[http://amazon.com/ Amazon] *[http://mcmelectronics.com/ MCM Electronics] *[https://www.creatroninc.com/ Creatron Inc (for those people North of the border)] == Other than the network settings, sequence files, and music/videos, what is on the USB stick? Is there anything tying the USB stick to the SD Card or the physical Pi? == No == How do I check for the latest player code? == If you are connected to the net, each boot up will pull the latest code (unless disabled in the settings). You can always check on the about page, if there is an update you can use the manual button without rebooting. Click on Help and then About or click on the blue version number after the word Version at the top of the page. If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? == The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? == Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ (on a Macintosh: http://fpp.local/) as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. == On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == How does one use the FPP in "Bridge Mode". == Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == What USB Wireless adapters will work with the Pi? == Here is a website that shows supported usb wifi adapters. It may not be the only list on the web, but it is one you can use. http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the SD card, or just write over existing version? == Always reformat the SD card, takes less time to format than to do the copy. == When we download a new software version, do we need to reformat the USB stick? == You can just leave it in place. Should be no problem. However, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a backup of the data on the stick. Some folks have found that with the Pi connected to the same network as a computer can see the Pi share folder and copy the "media" folder to their computer for backup of all the data and configuration info. == How can we tell if a RTC (real time clock) module is working == From a shell prompt, you should be able to run the following to confirm it is working: sudo hwclock -r That will read and display the current time from the RTC. == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet.

If the Local Git Version and the Remote Git Version are different you can click the manual update button. The Player will download the latest version and restart automatically. == Q. The name of the PCM audio file in my sequencer is one thing.....the audio file I have on my PI is different..... Does that matter or, as I think, the FPP doesn't care which audio is matched with a given .fseq file? -- A. The filename does not matter currently, you can pick any audio or video file to go with any sequence file. == Q. How do I setup my Edimax Wifi adapter? -- A. Assuming you have connected the Pi via Ethernet cable, Open a web browser and enter FPP\ as the the web page you want. Once in the the FPP on the status/control drop down, select Network. At the top in the Interface drop down select wlan0 and then enter the SSID and network password. Select update Interface and restart network. You should then connect to your wifi network. There usually is no need to enter any other information. == Q. My Pi won’t connect, I may have messed up the Ethernet connection. -- A. On the USB drive in the media/config folder is a file named interface.eth0. You can delete that file, it won’t break anything. You can also remove the USB drive and reboot. The system will go to default system settings. Then you can insert the USB drive and go back into the network config section and change your settings. == Q. How does one use the FPP in "Bridge Mode". -- A. Bridge mode only supports passing network data to a Falcon Pixelnet/DMX dongle or USB ports (Renard/DMX). == Where are the rest of the questions and answers? == They are still being asked or haven't been documented yet.

These are drawn in the UI menus if your plugin incorporates a specially named file for each menu entry. To include something in the "Status/Control" menu, you must include a file named "status_menu.inc". The contents of this file should be a list element and link with text. The menu styling will happen automatically as it will be included within the proper menu's unordered list. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Status/Control !! Content Setup !! Output Setup !! Help |- | status_menu.inc || content_menu.inc || output_menu.inc || help_menu.inc |- |} '''Example''' Prerequisites: * You're writing a plugin called "RDS Plugin" * Your plugin's repository name is "rds_plugin" (passed to plugin.php's "plugin" parameter) * You want a menu entry titled "RDS Setup" under "Output Setup" that will link to your plugin's "rds_setup.php" page for configuration Your output_menu.inc: <pre> <li><a href="plugin.php?plugin=rds_plugin&page=rds_setup.php">RDS Setup</a></li> </pre> Of course, you must have a file named "rds_setup.php" in your plugin as well, so that when you click the menu entry, your page is drawn. ===Adding FPP Plugin Pages=== You can write pages that will be drawn using plugin.php. The main page takes care of the main UI details such as the menu entries, session support, header, footer, etc. Your page will only need to include the content within the "bodyWrapper" div of the main FPP UI layout. To access your page you must use plugin.php and include at least two GET variables. * '''plugin''' - This is the directory name of your plugin. It will be the same as the name of your git repository. * '''page''' - The name of the page within your plugin directory to be included. '''Example''' Here's a quick example of a demo_page.php: <pre> <h1><?php echo "Hello World"; ?></h1> <p> This is a demo plugin page. </p> </pre> ==FPP Daemon== The daemon supports callbacks during execution. These are useful to get data from the daemon without having to query the FPPD socket or running your own daemon to parse certain details. ==Plugin Types== Currently there are only 3 types, but we may support more in the future for things like starting/stopping FPPD, and others. When FPPD starts, it will run a binary called "callbacks" with the "--list" parameter. This should return a comma-delimited list of callback types that your plugin supports. FPPD will keep track of this and call your function when one of the supported types occurs. ===Media=== This is a callback for when a media playback is started. If there is an audio file associated with the media being played back, TagLib is used to attempt parsing of the embedded metadata tags to be passed to the plugin. The plugin's "callbacks" executable will be called with "--type media" option as well as the relevant data. It is JSON formatted data. {| class="wikitable" |- ! key !! value !! description |- | type || {both|media|sequence|pause|video|event} || Type of media entry being played back |- | Sequence || <filename> || Name of the .fseq being played |- | Media || <filename> || Media filename (if present) |- | title || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata Title (if present) |- | artist || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata Artist (if present) |- | album || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata Album (if present) |- | year || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata Year (if present) |- | comment || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata comment (if present) |- | track || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata Track Number (if present) |- | genre || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata Genre (if present) |- | seconds || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata Seconds (if present) |- | minutes || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata Minutes (if present) |- | bitrate || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata Bitrate (if present) |- | sampleRate || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata Sample Rate (if present) |- | channels || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata Channels (if present) |- |} ====Example Use Case==== A script to update your website with the currently playing song, update a matrix with the song, etc. ====Example of a media callback execution==== <pre> /opt/fpp/plugins/rds_plugin/callbacks --type media --data {"type":"both","Sequence":"rds test.fseq","Media":"test song.mp3","title":"Song Title","artist":"Song Artist"} </pre> '''NOTE''': This callback is non-blocking. In other words, if your callback is written poorly and doesn't return for 20 seconds, FPPD should not be negatively affected and should start playback of the sequence without waiting. ===Playlist=== This is a callback for when a playlist is started. When a schedule determines that a playlist should be playing, it loads the details and makes this callback. Currently it only passes the sequence names to the plugin, but may be expanded in the future. The plugin's "callbacks" executable will be called with "--type playlist" option as well as the relevant data. It is JSON formatted data that includes the sequence details as well as whether it is starting or stopping as values "start"/"stop" to key "Action." ====Example Use Case==== A script to turn on/off GPIO pins that control relays for power to your show, or send a tweet alerting people that your show is starting/stopping. ====Example of a playlist callback execution==== <pre> /opt/fpp/plugins/rds_plugin/callbacks --type media --data {"Sequence":"rds test.fseq","Sequence":"rds test 2.fseq","Action":"start"} </pre> '''NOTE''': This callback is blocking. In other words, if your callback is written poorly and doesn't return for 20 seconds, FPPD will show the delay. ===Next Playlist Entry=== Currently unimplemented, but will be implemented soon. Unsure on implementation details at this point, but the purpose for this plugin will be to allow a plugin to control the order of items played by FPPD. Think of a jukebox plugin, or something where a controller outside of FPPD will determine the next playlist entry. ====Example Use Case==== A user-facing queue system so your viewers can select the next song from a list, or a jukebox random plugin. '''NOTE''': This callback is blocking. In other words, if your callback is written poorly and doesn't return for 20 seconds, FPPD will show the delay. ==Plugin Requirements and Installation== 4ae27fbf9b597548e84c7509ca2cbe55f91b4e3d 501 499 2014-06-30T21:36:50Z Materdaddy 5 wikitext text/x-wiki ==FPP UI== ===Adding FPP Menu Entries=== We allow menu entries into each of the top-level menus.

It is JSON formatted data. {| class="wikitable" |- ! key !! value !! description |- | type || {both|media|sequence|pause|video|event} || Type of media entry being played back |- | Sequence || <filename> || Name of the .fseq being played |- | Media || <filename> || Media filename (if present) |- | title || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata Title (if present) |- | artist || <parsed tag> || Media Metadata Artist (if present) |- |} Example of a media callback execution: <pre> /opt/fpp/plugins/rds_plugin/callbacks --type media --data {"type":"both","Sequence":"rds test.fseq","Media":"test song.mp3","title":"Song Title","artist":"Song Artist"} </pre> '''NOTE''': This callback is non-blocking. In other words, if your callback is written poorly and doesn't return for 20 seconds, FPPD should not be negatively affected and should start playback of the sequence without waiting. ===Playlist=== This is a callback for when a playlist is started. When a schedule determines that a playlist should be playing, it loads the details and makes this callback. Currently it only passes the sequence names to the plugin, but may be expanded in the future. The plugin's "callbacks" executable will be called with "--type playlist" option as well as the relevant data. It is JSON formatted data. Example of a playlist callback execution: <pre> /opt/fpp/plugins/rds_plugin/callbacks --type media --data {"Sequence":"rds test.fseq","Sequence":"rds test 2.fseq"} </pre> '''NOTE''': This callback is non-blocking. In other words, if your callback is written poorly and doesn't return for 20 seconds, FPPD should not be negatively affected and should start playback of the sequence without waiting. ===Next Playlist Entry=== Currently unimplemented, but will be implemented soon. Unsure on implementation details at this point, but the purpose for this plugin will be to allow a plugin to control the order of items played by FPPD. Think of a jukebox plugin, or something where a controller outside of FPPD will determine the next playlist entry. '''NOTE''': This callback is blocking. In other words, if your callback is written poorly and doesn't return for 20 seconds, FPPD will show the delay. ==Plugin Requirements and Installation== 7fc9e7ea7c76f74b0b24f291b645b12b447639cf 499 498 2014-06-30T21:16:50Z Materdaddy 5 wikitext text/x-wiki ==FPP UI== ===Adding FPP Menu Entries=== We allow menu entries into each of the top-level menus. These are drawn in the UI menus if your plugin incorporates a specially named file for each menu entry. To include something in the "Status/Control" menu, you must include a file named "status_menu.inc". The contents of this file should be a list element and link with text. The menu styling will happen automatically as it will be included within the proper menu's unordered list. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Status/Control !! Content Setup !! Output Setup !! Help |- | status_menu.inc || content_menu.inc || output_menu.inc || help_menu.inc |- |} '''Example''' Prerequisites: * You're writing a plugin called "RDS Plugin" * Your plugin's repository name is "rds_plugin" (passed to plugin.php's "plugin" parameter) * You want a menu entry titled "RDS Setup" under "Output Setup" that will link to your plugin's "rds_setup.php" page for configuration Your output_menu.inc: <pre> <li><a href="plugin.php?plugin=rds_plugin&page=rds_setup.php">RDS Setup</a></li> </pre> Of course, you must have a file named "rds_setup.php" in your plugin as well, so that when you click the menu entry, your page is drawn. ===Adding FPP Plugin Pages=== You can write pages that will be drawn using plugin.php. The main page takes care of the main UI details such as the menu entries, session support, header, footer, etc. Your page will only need to include the content within the "bodyWrapper" div of the main FPP UI layout. To access your page you must use plugin.php and include at least two GET variables. * '''plugin''' - This is the directory name of your plugin. It will be the same as the name of your git repository. * '''page''' - The name of the page within your plugin directory to be included. '''Example''' Here's a quick example of a demo_page.php: <pre> <h1><?php echo "Hello World"; ?></h1> <p> This is a demo plugin page. </p> </pre> ==FPP Daemon== The daemon supports callbacks during execution. These are useful to get data from the daemon without having to query the FPPD socket or running your own daemon to parse certain details. ==Plugin Types== Currently there are only 3 types, but we may support more in the future for things like starting/stopping FPPD, and others. When FPPD starts, it will run a binary called "callbacks" with the "--list" parameter. This should return a comma-delimited list of callback types that your plugin supports. FPPD will keep track of this and call your function when one of the supported types occurs. ===Media=== This is a callback for when a media playback is started. If there is an audio file associated with the media being played back, TagLib is used to attempt parsing of the embedded metadata tags to be passed to the plugin.

One tested and known to work: * [http://amzn.to/1uc8rX8 D-Link DUB-H4] = Prerequisites = '''Deprecated information''': Note that with newer versions of the VastFMT plugin, you do not need to do this. You can take a brand-new VastFMT, plug it into the Pi and you can configure your frequency, transmit power, etc. Before you can use your VastFMT with FPP you must set up your transmitter using the software provided by Vast and save the configuration to EEPROM. You should configure the power level, transmit frequency, transmit upon power-on, and any other non-RDS options you wish and then save those settings to the EEPROM of the VastFMT. Please verify that the VastFMT will power on and begin transmitting before going forward. =Using your VastFMT with FPP= ==Audio== To get audio going out of your VastFMT instead of the 3.5mm audio jack, follow these steps: * Boot your Pi with the VastFMT plugged into a USB port * Navigate to FPP's "FPP Settings" page under "Status/Control" * Select "Transmitter" (Note that newer models of VastFMT transmitters may show up as "Electronics") in the "Audio Output Device" selection box. If "Transmitter" and "Electronics" are not options, the VastFMT wasn't detected by the Pi and you should either try re-plugging it into the USB port and reloading the "FPP Settings" page, or rebooting the Pi. * Once you have selected the VastFMT from the drop-down, the Pi will configure the audio to be sent to the VastFMT. If a playlist is already in progress, the next song *should* start playing via the transmitter, however sometimes FPPD will need to be restarted. '''NOTE''': If you boot your Pi without the VastFMT plugged in, the audio will automatically be reset back to the 3.5mm audio jack until you run the steps listed here again. ==RDS== In order to get RDS data working, you must install the Vast V-FMT212R plugin. This plugin uses [[FPP:Plugins|FPP's plugin system]] to take the artist and title parsed from your media's metadata tags and output them via RDS. It utilizes RT to set the characters displayed on RDS capable FM receivers and additionally RT+ tags to set the artist and title fields appropriately. * Navigate to FPP's "Plugins" page under "Content Setup" * Click the "down arrow" to the right of "Vast V-FMT212R" which installs the plugin. You'll know it was successful if the "down arrow" icon changes to a trash can (for removal) and the "Output Setup" drop-down menu gains a new "Vast FMT212" entry. Once the plugin is successfully installed any Artist/Title tags parsed from your media should be sent at the beginning of each song's playback to your VastFMT.

You will need to download the following Debian image for Beaglebone Black. [http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz] From a windows machine you can use 7-zip to extract the image to your windows PC. Next use Win32DiskImager to transfer the Image to your microSD card. (this takes about 7min, time may&nbsp;vary ) *Take your Beaglebone Black (BBB) out of the box. *Connect a network cable. *Insert the microSD card you just imaged into your BBB. *Insert USB Flash drive. *If you have a microUSB HDMI cable you can connect it to an HDMI monitor so you can view the boot process. *While holding down the 'user boot' button, apply power to the board. Continue to hold the 'user boot' button until the USER LEDs begin to flash. (Not everyone needs to do this step for some reason. It forces the BBB to boot from the SD card is what I read.) *Connect the power to your BBB. You should use a 5V external power source, USB power may not work After the unit has completed it's boot up you should be able to log into it via a terminal program like Putty. You should be able to connect with the hostname beaglebone. The default login is root with no password.

(this takes about 7min) *Take your Beaglebone Black (BBB) out of the box. *Connect a network cable. *Insert the microSD card you just imaged into your BBB. *Insert USB Flash drive. *If you have a microUSB HDMI cable you can connect it to an HDMI monitor so you can view the boot process. *While holding down the 'user boot' button, apply power to the board. Continue to hold the 'user boot' button until the USER LEDs begin to flash. (Not everyone needs to do this step for some reason. It forces the BBB to boot from the SD card is what I read.) *Connect the power to your BBB. You should use a 5V external power source, USB power may not work After the unit has completed it's boot up you should be able to log into it via a terminal program like Putty. You should be able to connect with the hostname beaglebone. The default login is root with no password. If you can't connect to your BBB via the hostname of beaglebone, then you will have to connect a keyboard, monitor and a mouse to your BBB. After the unit has competed booting you can open a terminal window and type ifconfig to get the IP address. '''Next you should then optimize the space on your sd card. From a command prompt run the following:''' /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh '''If you want to be able to SSH into your Beaglebone, you will need to set a password for root:''' at the prompt, run the following command: passwd Follow the prompts to add a password. After that completes reboot your BBB and log back in as root. '''Next we will download and run the Falcon Player installation script. This will take about 30-50 minutes.''' SSH into your BBB and run the following commands: wget -nd https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/master/SD/FPP_Install.sh chmod 700 FPP_Install.sh sudo ./FPP_Install.sh After the installation has completed, you can now reboot the BBB. After it reboots you can log in with the user name fpp and password of falcon. == Links == *[http://www.nycresistor.com/2013/09/12/octoscroller What is octoscroller?] *[https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/7mSHNZcD Where to order octoscroller capes.] Updated with correct Version Yes it is 1.3 *[https://trmm.net/LEDscape/Setup Information about LEDscape] *[http://beagleboard.org/project/octoscroller/ BBB Octoscroller Info from Beaglebord.org] *[http://www.tablesgenerator.com/mediawiki_tables# MediaWiki Table Builder] 7443e8b1522f46636a0d4e785256326825936e49 725 724 2015-07-02T09:51:50Z AAH 335 /* How to install Falcon Player onto BeagleBone Black (Updated 3/24/2015) */ wikitext text/x-wiki == Falcon Player on BeagleBone Black == The development team is currently working on port Falcon Player to the Beaglebone Black hardware platform {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" stye="text-align:left;" class="wikitable collapsible" |- ! !

You will need to download the following Debian image for Beaglebone Black. http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz From a windows machine you can use 7-zip to extract the image to your windows PC. Next use Win32DiskImager to transfer the Image to your microSD card. (this takes about 7min) *Take your Beaglebone Black (BBB) out of the box. *Connect a network cable. *Insert the microSD card you just imaged into your BBB. *Insert USB Flash drive. *If you have a microUSB HDMI cable you can connect it to an HDMI monitor so you can view the boot process. *Connect the power to your BBB. After the unit has completed it's boot up you should be able to log into it via a terminal program like Putty. You should be able to connect with the hostname beaglebone. The default login is root with no password. If you can't connect to your BBB via the hostname of beaglebone, then you will have to connect a keyboard, monitor and a mouse to your BBB. After the unit has competed booting you can open a terminal window and type ifconfig to get the IP address. '''Next you should then optimize the space on your sd card. From a command prompt run the following:''' /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh After that completes reboot your BBB and log back in as root. '''Next we will download and run the Falcon Player installation script. This will take about 30-50 minutes.''' SSH into your BBB and run the following commands: wget -nd https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/master/SD/FPP_Install.sh chmod 700 FPP_Install.sh sudo ./FPP_Install.sh After the installation has completed, you can now reboot the BBB.

You will need to download the following Debian image for Beaglebone Black. http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz From a windows machine you can use 7-zip to extract the image to your windows PC. Next use Win32DiskImager to transfer the Image to your microSD card. (this takes about 7min) *Take your Beaglebone Black (BBB) out of the box. *Connect a network cable. *Insert the microSD card you just imaged into your BBB. *Insert USB Flash drive. *If you have a microUSB HDMI cable you can connect it to an HDMI monitor so you can view the boot process. *Connect the power to your BBB. After the unit has completed it's boot up you should be able to log into it via a terminal program like Putty. You should be able to connect with the hostname beaglebone. The default login is root with no password. If you can't connect to your BBB via the hostname of beaglebone, then you will have to connect a keyboard, monitor and a mouse to your BBB. After the unit has competed booting you can open a terminal window and type ifconfig to get the IP address. '''Next you should then optimize the space on your sd card. From a command prompt run the following:''' /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh After that completes reboot your BBB and log back in as root. '''Next we will download and run the Falcon Player installation script. This will take about 30-50 minutes.''' SSH into your BBB and run the following commands: wget -nd https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/master/SD/FPP_Install.sh chmod 700 FPP_Install.sh ./FPP_Install.sh After the installation has completed, you can now reboot the BBB.

For now you can hand edit the /home/fpp/media/channeloutputs file.

You can only have one active configuration. For BBB the next section is always LEDscapeMatrix. This IS case sensitive. 1 = the Start Channel. 6144 = the total channels. Next are the pipe-delimited details about each panel. Within each panel config, there are 5 colon-delimited values that I mentioned earlier: Output #, Panel #, Direction, X offset, Y offset Because these panels work like shift registers, the backend Octoscroller/LEDscape and Pi RGBMatrix code both treat the panel closest to the computer as the highest numbered, so the control wire from the computer enters panel #7 and the end of the output chain is panel #0. For BBB and Octoscroller the Panel Closest to the BBB is panel 7, then the next panel would be 6, and so on. (Note this is different behavior from panels directly attached to the Raspberry Pi.)

You will need to download the following Debian image for Beaglebone Black. http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz From a windows machine you can use 7-zip to extract the image to your windows PC. Next use Win32DiskImager to transfer the Image to your microSD card. (this takes about 7min) *Take your Beaglebone Black (BBB) out of the box. *Connect a network cable. *Insert the microSD card you just imaged into your BBB. *Insert USB Flash drive. *If you have a microUSB HDMI cable you can connect it to an HDMI monitor so you can view the boot process. *Connect the power to your BBB. After the unit has completed it's boot up you should be able to log into it via a terminal program like Putty. You should be able to connect with the hostname beaglebone. The default login is root with no password. If you can't connect to your BBB via the hostname of beaglebone, then you will have to connect a keyboard, monitor and a mouse to your BBB. After the unit has competed booting you can open a terminal window and type ifconfig to get the IP address. '''Next you should then optimize the space on your sd card. From a command prompt run the following:''' /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh After that completes reboot your BBB and log back in as root. '''Next we will download and run the Falcon Player installation script. This will take about 30-50 minutes.''' SSH into your BBB and run the following commands: wget -nd https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/master/SD/FPP_Install.sh chmod 700 FPP_Install.sh ./FPP_Install.sh After the installation has completed, you can now reboot the BBB. After it reboots you can log in with the user name fpp and password of falcon. == Sample channeloutput configurations == Currently there is no User Interface (UI) for configuring the Panel Layout. For now you can hand edit the /home/fpp/media/channeloutputs file. [[File:1x4_bbb_cfg.jpg]] [[File:2x2_bbb_cfg.jpg]] Here is an example of 3 Panels Stacked Horizontally, the data enters from the bottom Panel on the left side, when facing it from the front. *1,LEDscapeMatrix,1,6144,panels=0:7:U:0:32|0:6:N:0:16|0:5:U:0:0 The first 1 indicates that this configuration is enabled, 0 indicates that the configuration is disabled. You can only have one active configuration. For BBB the next section is always LEDscapeMatrix. This IS case sensitive. 1 = the Start Channel. 6144 = the total channels. Next are the pipe-delimited details about each panel. Within each panel config, there are 5 colon-delimited values that I mentioned earlier: Output #, Panel #, Direction, X offset, Y offset Because these panels work like shift registers, the backend Octoscroller/LEDscape and Pi RGBMatrix code both treat the panel closest to the computer as the highest numbered, so the control wire from the computer enters panel #7 and the end of the output chain is panel #0. For BBB and Octoscroller the Panel Closest to the BBB is panel 7, then the next panel would be 6, and so on. (Note this is different behavior from panels directly attached to the Raspberry Pi.) Here is an example of 4 Panels Stacked Horizontally in a 2x2 configuration, the data enters from the bottom Panel on the left side, when facing it from the front. *1,LEDscapeMatrix,1,6144,panels=0:7:U:0:16|0:6:U:32:16|0:5:N:32:0|0:4:N:0:0 Here is an example of 3 Panels Vertical side by side in a 1x3 configuration, the data enters from the bottom of the right panel, when facing it from the front. *1,LEDscapeMatrix,1,6144,panels=0:7:L:32:0|0:6:R:16:0|0:5:L:0:0 ---- == Links == *[http://www.nycresistor.com/2013/09/12/octoscroller What is octoscroller?] *[https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/7mSHNZcD Where to order octoscroller capes.] Updated with correct Version Yes it is 1.3 *[https://trmm.net/LEDscape/Setup Information about LEDscape] *[http://beagleboard.org/project/octoscroller/ BBB Octoscroller Info from Beaglebord.org] *[http://www.tablesgenerator.com/mediawiki_tables# MediaWiki Table Builder] 99d8fb36aee4127a3540f0bb6b52d763b939adfd 697 696 2015-03-30T20:25:53Z CaptainMurdoch 46 /* Operational Comparison */ wikitext text/x-wiki == Falcon Player on BeagleBone Black == The development team is currently working on port Falcon Player to the Beaglebone Black hardware platform {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" stye="text-align:left;" class="wikitable collapsible" |- ! !

You will need to download the following Debian image for Beaglebone Black. http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz From a windows machine you can use 7-zip to extract the image to your windows PC. Next use Win32DiskImager to transfer the Image to your microSD card. (this takes about 7min) *Take your Beaglebone Black (BBB) out of the box. *Connect a network cable. *Insert the microSD card you just imaged into your BBB. *Insert USB Flash drive. *If you have a microUSB HDMI cable you can connect it to an HDMI monitor so you can view the boot process. *Connect the power to your BBB. After the unit has completed it's boot up you should be able to log into it via a terminal program like Putty. You should be able to connect with the hostname beaglebone. The default login is root with no password. If you can't connect to your BBB via the hostname of beaglebone, then you will have to connect a keyboard, monitor and a mouse to your BBB. After the unit has competed booting you can open a terminal window and type ifconfig to get the IP address. '''Next you should then optimize the space on your sd card. From a command prompt run the following:''' /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh After that completes reboot your BBB and log back in as root. '''Next we will download and run the Falcon Player installation script. This will take about 30-50 minutes.''' SSH into your BBB and run the following commands: wget -nd https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/master/SD/FPP_Install.sh chmod 700 FPP_Install.sh ./FPP_Install.sh After the installation has completed, you can now reboot the BBB. After it reboots you can log in with the user name fpp and password of falcon. == Sample channeloutput configurations == Currently there is no User Interface (UI) for configuring the Panel Layout. For now you can hand edit the /home/fpp/media/channeloutputs file. [[File:1x4_bbb_cfg.jpg]] [[File:2x2_bbb_cfg.jpg]] Here is an example of 3 Panels Stacked Horizontally, the data enters from the bottom Panel on the left side, when facing it from the front. *1,LEDscapeMatrix,1,6144,panels=0:7:U:0:32|0:6:N:0:16|0:5:U:0:0 The first 1 indicates that this configuration is enabled, 0 indicates that the configuration is disabled. You can only have one active configuration. For BBB the next section is always LEDscapeMatrix. This IS case sensitive. 1 = the Start Channel. 6144 = the total channels.

You will need to download the following Debian image for Beaglebone Black. http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz From a windows machine you can use 7-zip to extract the image to your windows PC. Next use Win32DiskImager to transfer the Image to your microSD card. (this takes about 7min) *Take your Beaglebone Black (BBB) out of the box. *Connect a network cable. *Insert the microSD card you just imaged into your BBB. *Insert USB Flash drive. *If you have a microUSB HDMI cable you can connect it to an HDMI monitor so you can view the boot process. *Connect the power to your BBB. After the unit has completed it's boot up you should be able to log into it via a terminal program like Putty. You should be able to connect with the hostname beaglebone. The default login is root with no password. If you can't connect to your BBB via the hostname of beaglebone, then you will have to connect a keyboard, monitor and a mouse to your BBB. After the unit has competed booting you can open a terminal window and type ifconfig to get the IP address. '''Next you should then optimize the space on your sd card. From a command prompt run the following:''' /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh After that completes reboot your BBB and log back in as root. '''Next we will download and run the Falcon Player installation script. This will take about 30-50 minutes.''' SSH into your BBB and run the following commands: wget -nd https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/master/SD/FPP_Install.sh chmod 700 FPP_Install.sh ./FPP_Install.sh After the installation has completed, you can now reboot the BBB. After it reboots you can log in with the user name fpp and password of falcon. == Sample channeloutput configurations (work in progress) == Currently there is no User Interface (UI) for configuring the Panel Layout. For now you can hand edit the /home/fpp/media/channeloutputs file. [[File:1x4_bbb_cfg.jpg]] [[File:2x2_bbb_cfg.jpg]] Here is an example of 3 Panels Stacked Horizontally, the data enters from the bottom Panel on the left side, when facing it from the front. *1,LEDscapeMatrix,1,6144,panels=0:7:U:0:32|0:6:N:0:16|0:5:U:0:0 The first 1 indicates that this configuration is enabled, 0 indicates that the configuration is disabled. You can only have one active configuration. For BBB the next section is always LEDscapeMatrix. This IS case sensitive. 1 = the Start Channel. 6144 = the total channels. Next are the pipe-delimited details about each panel. Within each panel config, there are 5 colon-delimited values that I mentioned earlier: Output #, Panel #, Direction, X offset, Y offset Because these panels work like shift registers, the backend Octoscroller/LEDscape and Pi RGBMatrix code both treat the panel closest to the computer as the highest numbered, so the control wire from the computer enters panel #7 and the end of the output chain is panel #0. For BBB and Octoscroller the Panel Closest to the BBB is panel 7, then the next panel would be 6, and so on. (Note this is different behavior from panels directly attached to the Raspberry Pi.)

You will need to download the following Debian image for Beaglebone Black. http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz From a windows machine you can use 7-zip to extract the image to your windows PC. Next use Win32DiskImager to transfer the Image to your microSD card. (this takes about 7min) *Take your Beaglebone Black (BBB) out of the box. *Connect a network cable. *Insert the microSD card you just imaged into your BBB. *Insert USB Flash drive. *If you have a microUSB HDMI cable you can connect it to an HDMI monitor so you can view the boot process. *Connect the power to your BBB. After the unit has completed it's boot up you should be able to log into it via a terminal program like Putty. You should be able to connect with the hostname beaglebone. The default login is root with no password. If you can't connect to your BBB via the hostname of beaglebone, then you will have to connect a keyboard, monitor and a mouse to your BBB. After the unit has competed booting you can open a terminal window and type ifconfig to get the IP address. '''Next you should then optimize the space on your sd card. From a command prompt run the following:''' /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh After that completes reboot your BBB and log back in as root. '''Next we will download and run the Falcon Player installation script. This will take about 30-50 minutes.''' SSH into your BBB and run the following commands: wget -nd https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/master/SD/FPP_Install.sh <-NEW chmod 700 FPP_Install.sh ./FPP_Install.sh After the installation has completed, you can now reboot the BBB. After it reboots you can log in with the user name fpp and password of falcon. == Sample channeloutput configurations (work in progress) == Currently there is no User Interface (UI) for configuring the Panel Layout. For now you can hand edit the /home/fpp/media/channeloutputs file. [[File:1x4_bbb_cfg.jpg]] [[File:2x2_bbb_cfg.jpg]] Here is an example of 3 Panels Stacked Horizontally, the data enters from the bottom Panel on the left side, when facing it from the front. *1,LEDscapeMatrix,1,6144,panels=0:7:U:0:32|0:6:N:0:16|0:5:U:0:0 The first 1 indicates that this configuration is enabled, 0 indicates that the configuration is disabled. You can only have one active configuration. For BBB the next section is always LEDscapeMatrix. This IS case sensitive. 1 = the Start Channel. 6144 = the total channels. Next are the pipe-delimited details about each panel. Within each panel config, there are 5 colon-delimited values that I mentioned earlier: Output #, Panel #, Direction, X offset, Y offset Because these panels work like shift registers, the backend Octoscroller/LEDscape and Pi RGBMatrix code both treat the panel closest to the computer as the highest numbered, so the control wire from the computer enters panel #7 and the end of the output chain is panel #0. For BBB and Octoscroller the Panel Closest to the BBB is panel 7, then the next panel would be 6, and so on. (Note this is different behavior from panels directly attached to the Raspberry Pi.) Here is an example of 4 Panels Stacked Horizontally in a 2x2 configuration, the data enters from the bottom Panel on the left side, when facing it from the front. *1,LEDscapeMatrix,1,6144,panels=0:7:U:0:16|0:6:U:32:16|0:5:N:32:0|0:4:N:0:0 Here is an example of 3 Panels Vertical side by side in a 1x3 configuration, the data enters from the bottom of the right panel, when facing it from the front. *1,LEDscapeMatrix,1,6144,panels=0:7:L:32:0|0:6:R:16:0|0:5:L:0:0 ---- == Links == *[http://www.nycresistor.com/2013/09/12/octoscroller What is octoscroller?] *[https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/7mSHNZcD Where to order octoscroller capes.] Updated with correct Version Yes it is 1.3 *[https://trmm.net/LEDscape/Setup Information about LEDscape] *[http://beagleboard.org/project/octoscroller/ BBB Octoscroller Info from Beaglebord.org] *[http://www.tablesgenerator.com/mediawiki_tables# MediaWiki Table Builder] 06d300ddddcf233d64797871dd14f93247896f51 688 687 2015-03-27T21:09:52Z Patdelaney 271 /* Falcon Player on BeagleBone Black */ wikitext text/x-wiki == Falcon Player on BeagleBone Black == The development team is currently working on port Falcon Player to the Beaglebone Black hardware platform {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" stye="text-align:left;" class="wikitable collapsible" |- ! !

You will need to download the following Debian image for Beaglebone Black. http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz From a windows machine you can use 7-zip to extract the image to your windows PC. Next use Win32DiskImager to transfer the Image to your microSD card. (this takes about 7min) *Take your Beaglebone Black (BBB) out of the box. *Connect a network cable. *Insert the microSD card you just imaged into your BBB. *Insert USB Flash drive. *If you have a microUSB HDMI cable you can connect it to an HDMI monitor so you can view the boot process. *Connect the power to your BBB. After the unit has completed it's boot up you should be able to log into it via a terminal program like Putty. You should be able to connect with the hostname beaglebone. The default login is root with no password. If you can't connect to your BBB via the hostname of beaglebone, then you will have to connect a keyboard, monitor and a mouse to your BBB. After the unit has competed booting you can open a terminal window and type ifconfig to get the IP address. '''Next you should then optimize the space on your sd card. From a command prompt run the following:''' /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh After that completes reboot your BBB and log back in as root. '''Next we will download and run the Falcon Player installation script. This will take about 30-50 minutes.''' SSH into your BBB and run the following commands: wget -nd https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/BBB/SD/FPP_Install.sh chmod 700 FPP_Install.sh ./FPP_Install.sh After the installation has completed, you can now reboot the BBB. After it reboots you can log in with the user name fpp and password of falcon. == Sample channeloutput configurations (work in progress) == Currently there is no User Interface (UI) for configuring the Panel Layout. For now you can hand edit the /home/fpp/media/channeloutputs file.

You can only have one active configuration. For BBB the next section is always LEDscapeMatrix. This IS case sensitive. 1 = the Start Channel. 6144 = the total channels. Next are the pipe-delimited details about each panel. Within each panel config, there are 5 colon-delimited values that I mentioned earlier: Output #, Panel #, Direction, X offset, Y offset Because these panels work like shift registers, the backend Octoscroller/LEDscape and Pi RGBMatrix code both treat the panel closest to the computer as the highest numbered, so the control wire from the computer enters panel #7 and the end of the output chain is panel #0.

You will need to download the following Debian image for Beaglebone Black. http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz From a windows machine you can use 7-zip to extract the image to your windows PC. Next use Win32DiskImager to transfer the Image to your microSD card. (this takes about 7min) *Take your Beaglebone Black (BBB) out of the box. *Connect a network cable. *Insert the microSD card you just imaged into your BBB. *Insert USB Flash drive. *If you have a microUSB HDMI cable you can connect it to an HDMI monitor so you can view the boot process. *Connect the power to your BBB. After the unit has completed it's boot up you should be able to log into it via a terminal program like Putty. You should be able to connect with the hostname beaglebone. The default login is root with no password. If you can't connect to your BBB via the hostname of beaglebone, then you will have to connect a keyboard, monitor and a mouse to your BBB. After the unit has competed booting you can open a terminal window and type ifconfig to get the IP address. '''Next you should then optimize the space on your sd card. From a command prompt run the following:''' /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh After that completes reboot your BBB and log back in as root. '''Next we will download and run the Falcon Player installation script. This will take about 30-50 minutes.''' SSH into your BBB and run the following commands: wget -nd https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/BBB/SD/FPP_Install.sh chmod 700 FPP_Install.sh ./FPP_Install.sh After the installation has completed, you can now reboot the BBB. After it reboots you can log in with the user name fpp and password of falcon. == Sample channeloutput configurations (work in progress) == Currently there is no User Interface (UI) for configuring the Panel Layout. For now you can hand edit the /home/fpp/media/channeloutputs file.

You can only have one active configuration. For BBB the next section is always LEDscapeMatrix. This IS case sensitive. 1 = the Start Channel. 6144 = the total channels. Next are the pipe-delimited details about each panel. Within each panel config, there are 5 colon-delimited values that I mentioned earlier: Output #, Panel #, Direction, X offset, Y offset Because these panels work like shift registers, the backend Octoscroller/LEDscape and Pi RGBMatrix code both treat the panel closest to the computer as the highest numbered, so the control wire from the computer enters panel #7 and the end of the output chain is panel #0.

You will need to download the following Debian image for Beaglebone Black. http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz From a windows machine you can use 7-zip to extract the image to your windows PC. Next use Win32DiskImager to transfer the Image to your microSD card. (this takes about 7min) *Take your Beaglebone Black (BBB) out of the box. *Connect a network cable. *Insert the microSD card you just imaged into your BBB. *If you have a microUSB HDMI cable you can connect it to an HDMI monitor so you can view the boot process. *Connect the power to your BBB. After the unit has completed it's boot up you should be able to log into it via a terminal program like Putty. You should be able to connect with the hostname beaglebone. The default login is root with no password. If you can't connect to your BBB via the hostname of beaglebone, then you will have to connect a keyboard, monitor and a mouse to your BBB. After the unit has competed booting you can open a terminal window and type ifconfig to get the IP address. '''Next you should then optimize the space on your sd card. From a command prompt run the following:''' /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh After that completes reboot your BBB and log back in as root. '''Next we will download and run the Falcon Player installation script. This will take about 30-50 minutes.''' SSH into your BBB and run the following commands: wget -nd https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/BBB/SD/FPP_Install.sh chmod 700 FPP_Install.sh ./FPP_Install.sh After the installation has completed, you can now reboot the BBB. After it reboots you can log in with the user name fpp and password of falcon. == Sample channeloutput configurations (work in progress) == Currently there is no User Interface (UI) for configuring the Panel Layout. For now you can hand edit the channeloutputs file. Here is an example of 3 Panels Stacked Horizontally, the data enters from the bottom Panel on the left side, when facing it from the front. *1,LEDscapeMatrix,1,6144,panels=0:7:U:0:32|0:6:N:0:16|0:5:U:0:0 The first 1 indicates that this configuration is enabled, 0 indicates that the configuration is disabled. You can only have one active configuration. For BBB the next section is always LEDscapeMatrix. This IS case sensitive. 1 = the Start Channel. 6144 = the total channels. Next are the pipe-delimited details about each panel. Within each panel config, there are 5 colon-delimited values that I mentioned earlier: Output #, Panel #, Direction, X offset, Y offset Because these panels work like shift registers, the backend Octoscroller/LEDscape and Pi RGBMatrix code both treat the panel closest to the computer as the highest numbered, so the control wire from the computer enters panel #7 and the end of the output chain is panel #0. For BBB and Octoscroller the Panel Closest to the BBB is panel 7, then the next panel would be 6, and so on. (Note this is different behavior from panels directly attached to the Raspberry Pi.) Here is an example of 4 Panels Stacked Horizontally in a 2x2 configuration, the data enters from the bottom Panel on the left side, when facing it from the front. *1,LEDscapeMatrix,1,6144,panels=0:7:U:0:16|0:6:U:32:16|0:5:N:32:0|0:4:N:0:0 Here is an example of 3 Panels Vertical side by side in a 1x3 configuration, the data enters from the bottom of the right panel, when facing it from the front. *1,LEDscapeMatrix,1,6144,panels=0:7:L:32:0|0:6:R:16:0|0:5:L:0:0 ---- == Links == *[http://www.nycresistor.com/2013/09/12/octoscroller What is octoscroller?] *[https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/7mSHNZcD Where to order octoscroller capes.] Updated with correct Version Yes it is 1.3 *[https://trmm.net/LEDscape/Setup Information about LEDscape] *[http://beagleboard.org/project/octoscroller/ BBB Octoscroller Info from Beaglebord.org] *[http://www.tablesgenerator.com/mediawiki_tables# MediaWiki Table Builder] 02f4f8009f5ee3de0a663bf435f3970a7a830f01 637 635 2015-02-28T04:21:43Z CaptainMurdoch 46 CaptainMurdoch moved page [[Falcon FP BBB]] to [[Falcon FPP BBB]]: Even though we use "Falcon Player", the short name is still "FPP" wikitext text/x-wiki == Falcon Player on BeagleBone Black (FPBBB) == The development team is currently working on port Falcon Player to the Beaglebone Black hardware platform {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" stye="text-align:left;" class="wikitable collapsible" |- ! !

You will need to download the following Debian image for Beaglebone Black. http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz From a windows machine you can use 7-zip to extract the image to your windows PC. Next use Win32DiskImager to transfer the Image to your microSD card. (this takes about 7min) Take your BBB out of the box. If you have an microUSB HDMI cable you can connect it to a monitor to view the boot process. Connect network cable Insert microSD card into your BBB Connect the power to your BBB If you have Keyboard and mouse connected to your BBB, after the unit has competed booting you can open a terminal window and type ifconfig to get the IP address. After the unit has completed it's boot up you should be able to connect to it via a terminal Program like Putty. You should be able to connect with the host name beaglebone. The default login is root with no password. Next you should then optimize the space on your sd card. From a command prompt run the following: /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh After that completes reboot your BBB and log back in as root. Next we will download and run the Falcon Player installation script. This will take about 15 to 20 minutes.

Here's how to roll your own VPN with the Raspberry Pi Falcon Player Platform. == What You'll Need == *A setup and functioning Falcon Player on the Raspberry Pi Platform.<BR /> *A free [https://secure.logmein.com/ LogMeIn] account since we're using [http://https//secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/default.aspx LogMeIn Hamachi] to create our VPN. Create your free account, if you don't have one already, before you get started. Hamachi will create a VPN for you, so you don't have to mess with port forwarding on your router, getting a static IP address, or trying to bypass firewalls.<BR /> *CLI access to the Falcon Player, this can be done with a externel SSH program, or with the 1.0-Beta and beyond - SSH web browser access is available off the help menu.<BR /> == Update the Raspberry Pi and Install Hamachi == Hamachi depends on a couple of packages that may not be present in your image, so we're going to first update the packages and hopefully save you time troubleshooting common errors.<BR /> First, grab the latest update: sudo apt-get update Then, install LSB (a requirement for Hamachi): sudo apt-get install lsb lsb-core Be patient while it updates, and then you can download the latest Hamachi build for Linux: sudo wget https://secure.logmein.com/labs/logmein-hamachi_2.1.0.130-1_armhf.deb If you get errors grabbing the Hamachi for Linux download, check the download page on LogMeIn to verify the version number (e.g., 2.1.0.130-1) and change it in the filename if necessary. Next, install Hamachi by entering: sudo dpkg -i logmein-hamachi_2.1.0.130-1_armhf.deb == Configure Hamachi on the Raspberry Pi == The last step for our VPN setup is to get Hamachi running on the Pi and on our client PCs. On the Raspberry Pi, run the following to get the Pi connected to your LogMeIn account and create a new Hamachi network:<BR /> sudo hamachi login<BR /> sudo hamachi attach [INSERT LOGMEIN.COM EMAIL HERE]<BR /> sudo hamachi set-nick [INSERT A NICKNAME FOR YOUR RASPBERRY PI]<BR /> Now, on another machine, head over to LogMeIn and go to your "My Networks" section under networks. You'll see that the Pi (whatever you nicknamed it) is trying to connect and create a new network. Grant the Pi permissions and write down the network ID (a 9-digit number) for that network. Go back to the Raspberry Pi and enter:<BR /> sudo hamachi do-join [THE NETWORK ID YOU WROTE DOWN]<BR /> Then enter your LogMeIn password (if requested). You might need to approve the join request on LogMeIn from the other machine. Once you do so, the Pi will be part of the new VPN served by Hamachi. At LogMeIn.com, look for the virtual IP address assigned to the Pi and write that down, because you'll need it later.<BR /> You can also find out your IP address by:<BR /> sudo ifconfig<BR /> and look for the ham0 interface == Install Hamachi on Your Computers == Almost done! For the Windows, Mac, or Linux computers you also want to connect to the VPN, you'll need to install the Hamachi client from the download page. After you do so, you can join the new VPN (Network > Join) and SSH into the Raspberry Pi or access network files, etc. (In Windows, use a tool like Putty or in Mac/Linux use Terminal to SSH, using the Raspberry Pi's IP address assigned by Hamachi in the server field). ---- * Information for this how-to found at: http://lifehacker.com/5978098/turn-a-raspberry-pi-into-a-personal-vpn-for-secure-browsing-anywhere-you-go b0d1a14d23f24a3ffecd3691311f41a5d232dcf8 570 569 2014-11-05T21:31:06Z Mykroft 3 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Image:vpn.jpg|800px|center]]<br /> == Introduction== With a VPN, you'll get secure access to your Falcon Player on your home network when you're on the go.

LED lights which do <bold>NOT</bold> change color also fall into this category. <big>'''B'''</big> *BBB - BeagleBone Black - A single board computer (SBC) which can be used to run the Falcon Pi Player (FPP). *BBG - BeagleBone Green - A single board computer (SBC) which can be used to run the Falcon Pi Player (FPP). <big>'''C'''</big> *Channel - <big>'''D'''</big> *DC - Direct Current (DC) is electrical current which runs in only one direction. DC current is used to power LED lights as well as many of the controllers used to run light shows. Power supplies and wall warts convert AC power to DC power. Batteries also produce DC power. LED lights used in holiday displays generally use 5 volt, 12 volt, or 24 volt DC current. *Differential Expansion Board - *DMX - *DSC - Dumb String Controller *Dumb String (also known as Dumb Lights or Dumb RGB) - RGB LEDs in which all of the lights attached together will be the same color at all times. Individual LEDs can NOT be controlled on a dumb string. <big>'''E'''</big> *E1.31 - <big>'''F'''</big> *Falcon - *FPP - The Falcon Player (FPP) is a lightweight, optimized, feature-rich sequence player designed to run on low-cost SBC's (Single Board Computers). It was originally created to run on the $35 Raspberry Pi, hence the middle 'P' in the short name. FPP is a software solution that you download and install on hardware which can be purchased from numerous sources around the internet. FPP aims to be controller agnostic, it can talk E1.31, DMX, Pixelnet, and Renard to hardware from multiple hardware vendors, including controller hardware from Falcon Christmas available via COOPs or in the store on FalconChristmas.com *F16v1 - *F16v2 - *F16v2R - *F16v3 - <big>'''G'''</big> <big>'''H'''</big> <big>'''I'''</big> *Incan or Incandescent - Light bulbs which emit light as a result of being heated, generally by passing electrical current thru a filament wire.

It supports both Pixelnet and DMX 512 output via 12 universes ports (4 universes per RJ-45 Jack) in any combination. With the addition of this daughter board to the Falcon Pi Player it would be the same capability as 2 EtherDongles, 1 Conductor, and 1 Slave. Along with additional features not available elsewhere. Through the Falcon Pi Player's (FPP) Web interface (Output Setup->Pixelnet/DMX) you can specify which channels are output through which 2 wire serial connections in the RJ-45 Jacks on the FPD. Each 2 wire serial connection can be defined as carrying either 4096 channels of Pixelnet or 512 channels of DMX. While the FPD has 12 serial connections there is a maximum of 32,768. This represents 8 full Pixelnet universes allowing the remaining 4 serial connections to be used for DMX or to repeat another Pixelnet universe. For changes to the universe mapping to be applied you will need to stop and start the Falcon Pi Player Daemon. To do this point your browser at the main page of the Falcon Pi Player and click on the "stop FPPD" button. After a moment the page will reload and the button will change to "start FPPD" click the button again and your new universe settings will be active. Note that this applies to either mapping operation, e1.31 to channel or universe mappings. [[File:PI_player_output.PNG]] == Using FPD in Bridge mode == To use the FPD in Bridge mode you will need to send a full 32K channels to the FPP. You configure the mapping of channels in E1.31 universes to the channels output from the FPD through the "output setup"->Universe page. If you are operating the PI in bridge mode you will need to configure at least 32 universes on this page. '''Remember''' if you are operating in bridge mode you must send all of these universes to the Pi Player for the FPD to function properly.

We also show the physical assembly of the Raspberry Pi in it's custom case. == Beginners Guide Part 2 == {{#ev:vimeo|77561237}} This is the second part in the beginners guide to the Falcon Pi Player. This Video covers the required software downloads. == Beginners Guide Part 3 == {{#ev:vimeo|77565712}} In this video we use a Windows computer to prepare our SD Card and USB stick for use in the Falcon Pi Player. == Beginners Guide Part 4 == {{#ev:vimeo|77638328}} In this video we use a Macintosh computer to prepare our SD Card and USB stick for use in the Falcon Pi Player. The procedure in part 3 and 4 only needs to be performed in one location. I am showing both a windows version and a Macintosh version but you only need to use the one appropriate to your environment. == Beginners Guide Part 5 == {{#ev:vimeo|77589618}} This is the fifth and final part in the beginners guide to the Falcon Pi Player. In this video we will boot and configure the Falcon Pi Player, and output to lights. This is the majority of the tutorial. Notes and Corrections: Corrections: At the 7:30 Mark I say I am going to shutdown the Pi, however, I never show how it is shutdown. There is a shutdown button at the bottom of the Status/Control page. You should always shut the pi down using this button prior to removing power. At the 8:43 mark you'll notice the Pi is in the shutdown state with only the red power light active. This is because I did run the shutdown command, I just failed to show it.
